Where does this figure of a diesel engine weighing 1000# more than a gas engine come from?

Popular myth.....

Here is the 2013 Ford Camper Guide:



Note the last F350 line for the 4x4 DRW long bed 14,000 GVWR CC:
Gas: 5,969 lb
Diesel: 5,019 lb

Payload penalty for the diesel: 950 lbs. (so I cheated a little and just said 1,000 lbs). It's more than the weight of just the engine block - it's all of the added stuff too. DEF tank and fluid, pumps and plumbing. Two batteries instead of one. And so on.

From the chart, it looks like sometimes the diesel adds 700 lbs, sometimes it adds 750 lbs, sometimes it adds 800 lbs, and sometimes it adds 950 lbs.

I guess it depends on how much of mamma's spaghetti the diesel ate that day..
