The WD40 (and water/oil/dirt solution) would not be the best solution for your chain.
Take the container off the bike and empty all that you can out (turn it upside down, shake/squeeze it etc.). Use something fairly cheap to further dilute the solution (kerosene, methylated sprits, diesel fuel etc. [NOT water!]). Mix that up and again remove the contaminated fluid. Repeat until the fluid is reasonably clean. Once most of it is out (all you can get) then put it back on the bike with the outlet tube directed into a bottle (old drink bottle for example), zip tie it on so it won't fall off.
Turn the flow rate dial to max, ride. If your chain needs lubrication now then lube it the old fashioned way - by hand. Empty the drink bottle out before it overflows. Once you have most of the solution out, put some more of that cheap stuff in (just a bit more, not filling the Scott oiler) and run again. Again repeat until the stuff coming out is fairly clean. What you want is for your cheap solution to flush away the dirty stuff before you put good oil in there and direct it to your chain.
