Just a guess, but don't diesel engines have a completely different fuel system?

The fuel injectors are fed by a common rail system, and any unburnt fuel is returned to the tank. The fuel is constantly circulated by this method, keeping it warm and preventing waxing

I guess for this reason they would have to fit a new tank, which may be smaller to accomodate all the extra nonesense.
