Check for fleas and flea poo and give him a flea spot on. If this does not end the itching and chewing, then you need to take Diesel to a vet for an exam as he may have allergies or a neurological disorder that is causing pruritus (itch) or pain in his tail. Your vet will then treat according to his findings. This may involve medications, pain medicine, antihistamines and or a diet change.
