Yes, this really can happen. The transmission modulator ruptures and vacuum system system draws out trans fluid into engine oil thru vacuum pump into engine crankcase. Been there, done that. I replaced the modulator valve and dropped engine oil.

Can you use transmission fluid in diesel fuel?

You're talking about the old trick of putting a little ATF into the tank to clean out injectors and such. If your engine is EPA2010 or Euro 5/6 compliant, do not do this. That means, if you have a diesel particulate filter on your diesel - you'll clog the DOC face and the DPF by doing this. For an engine prior to the EPA2010 emissions standards, it can be done, but very carefully.

Just drain the fuel tank, blow out the fuel lines, replace the fuel filter, fill the tank with fresh fuel, and it will be fine. You may have to use starter fluid to get it starter and it may run rough for a few minutes but no damage will be done.
