Right, the Benmars don't use a wick. The ignitor is located within the ceramic vaporizer and the ignition takes place over a larger area.........
The Benmar heaters I have that will replace the hot water heaters on my trucks have a different ignition system on them, as Bjorn has related, and possibly different control valves, but I have not gotten into them to be able to comment. Bjorn would possibly be able to relate more about this to us.

The fuel control valve is of a different brand, but works pretty much the same way the SW does.
Personally, I will keep biodiesel/veggie oil and other alternate fuel away from the heaters. A contaminated wick and/or vaporizer would likely create some problems.
