You've Hit on what I heard. In the event the engines were running, as part of the Halon System(or Successor), that the Oxygen to the Engine must be Shut Down automatically or the Air Intake will Use the Halon, like Air - and subsequently Use THAT what was intended to fight the fire. I called a Company in Ft. Myers that was a Distributor for a Suppression product, and was told they will only Service an existing system - not install - for they don't wish to get involved in the Electrical Work required for a Diesel Application. So when I find a company that will do the Whole Enchilada - it will Cost me $$$$.
