I thought it was the exact opposite.  Diesel fuel has much better
lubricity than LPG/CNG/gasoline.  Note how long diesel engines
tend to last compared to gassers.  In fact, I recall hearing
about LPG/CNG automobile engines being broken in on gasoline for
lubrication reasons.

Of course, I could well be wrong.
