It contaminates the SCR dosing circuit — tank, pump, heated lines, dosing injector — and it cannot be fixed by simply draining and… The AdBlue system is built for one fluid to one specification, ISO 22241, and hydrocarbon is not it. Diesel attacks the seals and the pump internals and leaves a residue that keeps contaminating fresh fluid after a nominal drain. Do not start the engine and do not let anyone "just flush it through" — that pushes contamination further down the circuit.
