Actually, he kept the factory tank and added a fuel cell of sorts into
the rear tire well. There is a switch on the dash that will alternate
between the two, so he only needs to run it a few minutes on regular
diesel before he heads to the dealer.

Explaining how the techs all seem to crave McDonalds after working on
his car is another story....

.. you just have to fill it up with pump-diesel before you bring it in
for service. As long as they don't find a french fry in the fuel filter,
you're A-OK.
