    Yeah, the fuel injection on modem diesels requires very high pressure and the pumps that form that pressure rewire very tight tolerances/clearances and rely on the fuel as lubricant. Without it, they grind themselves up, ruining both themselves and the injectors downstream with a shower of metal particles.
    The entire fuel system has to be replaced.
