Ah, that would be bad mix, wouldn't it? So perhaps if the CO2 were less
compressed in the tank and warmed to a decent temperature on delivery it
would be ok, but that sounds overly complicated. It wouldn't take much
to stall an engine, so maybe a tank with about 3x times the displacement
of the engine that was only compressed 2x or 3x? That would give it
enough to quench a couple of revolutions of the motor.
