obdII solutions do not track fuel usage well on diesels. They assume a 14.1 ratio and watch the mass airflow.

Diesels (due to lack of throttle plate and compression ignition) do not operate at a relatively fixed mixture.

I don't have a good solution for diesels handy, have been thinking about it plenty though.
