Does it come with the wick?

Yes. But through the normal course of using it, you will find that the wick gets shorter and shorter. Generally you shod keep the wick short enough, while the lamp is lit, that the fuel burns and not the wick. But everytime you light the lamp or burn it until the fuel runs out, it will burn a bit of the wick. Also, if you make too big of a flame while it's burning, it will burn a lot of the wick. Amazon sells plenty of half-inch replacement wicks. You can even find it fairly cheap if you look.

After its filled, how long does it burn before it needs to be filled again?

Generally, how long it will burn depends upon: 1) how big a flame you use. You can adjust the height of the flame with the flame regulator knob. The bigger the flame, the shorter the burn time. 2) what kind of fuel you use, or more importantly its flash point. The lower the flashpoint, the more fuel it will consume (and the hotter it will burn). 3) Size of the wick. I have a similar lantern, same color, same size, same manufacturer, with about a half inch wick, that I bought elsewhere. So I cannot be 100% certain that it's identical to this one, but it appears to be. Now, with that said, with a half inch wide wick and a flame a bit over 1" tall, I get 1 hour burn time for each half ounce of kerosene. I measure out 9oz of kerosene, so it burns about 18 hours on a single tank. Note: I see a lot of reviews that say the lantern leaks. They all (all manufacturers) do, if you overfill them. Do not fill above the fill line (which is why I measure the quantity of kerosene) and it won't leak.

What kind of fules can this lantern use?

Kerosene or lamp oil only...do not use citronella oil...it will smoke.... kerosene had some smell to it but is fairly inexpensive......clear lamp oil is almost odorless....I use K1 kerosene.......also never over fill your lantern ... about 3//4 full is fine...it will leak if you over fill

Which size of wick does this use in inches? I have some lanterns and I need to buy more.

Try some glass wicks , they are a one time purchase and once installed you will never need to replace the wick as it does not shorten when burned. Almost seems criminal that lamps are sold without having glass wicks in them. https://www.amazon.com/Firefly-Brand-Braided-Replacement-Lanterns/dp/B00OL1UMGQ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=BZ2UTYYHGFF7&keywords=1%2F2%2Bglass%2Bwicks&qid=1669362749&sprefix=1%2F2%2Bglass%2Bwicks%2Caps%2C793&sr=8-3&th=1
