A safety device for preventing uncontrolled burning in wick-fed liquid fuel burners of the type where a removable tank (60) feeds a fuel chamber (40), which supplies the fuel to a wick (54) via a sump opening in the upper surface of chamber (40). A gasket (76) contains vapors present in the sump area when the tank (60) is seated in the sump opening. When the tank (60) is removed from the sump opening, a plate (84) moves upward due to the action of a spring (82) and contains vapors in the sump area.
