The filler neck is different.  I'm not sure about the tank.  Even if they
are different, though, adapting a gas tank to diesel shouldn't be hard --
the diesel fuel system is pretty simple.  If you use a gas filler neck
you'll have to remove the unleaded restrictor, and you won't get the
ability to fill from 2" diameter truck nozzles, though. ;)
