This is true, but these engines do not compress liquids b/c that would mean they pretty much defy physics.
Compressibility is defined as the ability to change a medium's density. We can compress gases due to intermoleduclar spacing. Liquids and solids are considered incompressible until you get over 10000 bar or so when we get to regions of plasma.
These trucks pressurize liquids...which is different and whenever you put work into a system, you increase temperature (indicator energy in a medium). In this case, the fuel temperature is increased via the pressurization of the fuel.
The fuel temperature needs to be controlled in order to have a more predictable ignition timing which is important when engineers are metering fuel and injection timing for proper ignition.
In short, if you heat that fuel up, you are going to impact the ignition timing and can cause damage to the engine.

There is a lot of logic in what you are saying, but the 2nd cooling system is also a failure point, and takes up a lot of room.
