I disagree with that.

I have a ScanGaugeII in my Ford F350 6.0 Diesel, and after adjusting the fillup % for the first few tanks, it was *dead-on-accurate*. Never more than 0.1 gallons difference between what the SC reported and what was actually pumped into the tank (on a tank that holds 38 gallons). I always filled at the same pump (except on long trips when that was impossible), and always filled it to the brim (until it wouldn't hold another drop without spilling over). It was accurate no matter if I was hypermiling it without any load, or towing a 10,000 lb trailer through the mountains going full throttle up all the hills.

For me, the ScanGauge works VERY well on diesels.
