Ya, my friend's 280GE with the badly adjusted lamba which:
a) gave him about 10 mpg.
b) made the floor about the CAT *very* hot.
Required someone who knew what they were doing to adjust it correctly.

For the chemically inclined among us: If one were to add 1.5 oz of ordinary
store-bought Acetone to every 10 gallons of diesel fuel, would the acetone
in that concentration cause any damage to seals, gaskets, injector pumps
etc?

A properly running diesel is VERY efficient. With the engine loaded,
most of the fuel is completely burned - CO concentrations (incompletely
burned burned fuel) run well less than 0.5% (suggesting that most of the
fuel is already almost fully consumed) and particulates are quite low as
