Or better yet how does the sun stay on fire. Anyway, I think Hell is being fueled and supplied with Oxygen constantly to stay up. Any info is appreciated

I would guess any supreme being, GOD, who can create the universe, imprison souls in Hell, and offer unconditional love, can generate a constant supply of oxygen.

Hell fire is the best explanation the ancients could use to explain the extremely hot magma that makes up the earth's core. Insulated heat does not need oxygen to stay hot. Compression and explosion causes heat and energy and does not need large amounts of oxygen.
The "Burning" of flames here on the surface is part of the explosion caused by gas explosion and release of gases contained in organic matter, and does require oxygen as part of the chemical combustion.
The burning of the sun is the explosion caused by the release of gases through intense heat. (Hooray! I do remember fifth grade science! I can be on the show now!)
True hell is being cut off from the presence of God, or absolute obliteration from any existence whatsoever.
"Burning in hell" has more reference to the casting of certain people into a pit of fire or into the path of flowing lava in the name of religion, and is more of a metaphor than an actual happenstance.

The concept of "Hell" in Christian terms has changed over "time"; originally is was people freezing in ice up to their ears and that was changed by the Church to keep people inline more; the bible has many ancient words (yours is English I'd guess) and those words have been interpreted VERY differently by those who have agenda's (Church) or those who simply elect to say a certain word is meant to say this or mean this by supporting ancient text;
When you investigate that text, as opposed to swallowing it whole, some truth will leak out.

Personal opinion - from all the 'hot air' of those that are in hell.
