Why are they more suitable though? What is different about them, very robust injector pumps?

I'm trying to figure out which engines are more or less suited to true SVO (not just biodiesel) use, assuming heated fuel, preferably from people who have actually done and tried and run them for many miles without destroying their engine. So far I can't find a single incidence of a class 8 truck running it anyways...

I'm more interested in older engines than newer, any project I do would have to be on an older truck for economic reasons. (plus i'd never risk a new six figure rig on SVO without evidence of others doing a hundred thousand plus miles on it without trouble - since that's about what a replacement engine would otherwise cost just to break even : P)
