Why does salt keep kerosene lamps from exploding?

People added salt to kerosene lamps to remove any water content in the fuel, and moisture in the fuel mix is what can be potentially dangerous. It causes spitting and flaring of the flame, which can lead to an explosion under the right conditions. Normally, a clean burning flame will steadily devour the oxygen in the air around it and, due to the wick fitting, be prevented from burning down into the lamp reservoir. Inside the lamp reservoir, as the fuel is consumed, the empty space is filled with a mixture of air and fuel vapor. This mixture is too rich (too saturated will fuel vapor) to burn most of the time, but an erratic flame might allow a significant amount of oxygenated air to bleed into the reservoir through the wick fitting, creating a potentially explosive ratio of fuel vapor and oxygen. At that point, the heat from the flame or any contact of the flame with the fuel/air mixture could result in an explosion.
