Yes it is true!, basically when the rings become worn (constant either use leads to accelerated wear due to the high pressure loads put upon them by the either), the compression becomes poor, due to compression leakage past the rings and diesels need the heat generated by high compression to ignite the fuel. Either doesn't need much heat to ignite, so thats why it is used. You can fix the problem by overhauling the engine and replacing the rings and makeing sure that the bores are smooth (you will most likely have to take out the ridges made by the old rings with a cylinder hone), so that the new rings will properly seal.
