    MEP-802A/803A gauge lighting

    I had a hard time getting the lamp socket to stay in the gauge hole and still hold on to the bulb. I could tweak the 4 tabs in the socket to grab one or the other but not both.

    Winter Storm Preps

    If plain old kerosene is too expensive, you might consider jet fuel, which is essentially kerosene with a few additives.
