This is actually a pretty common option on heavy duty trucks. Any truck that does oil-field or refinery duty is set up with a guillotine cut-off right after the turbo on the intake side. Sometimes there are enough hydrocarbons free in the air on an oil field or refinery that the trucks will just run on what is in the air. If that starts to happen the driver has to just hit a switch and an air-operated plate pops into place and cuts off all air to the engine.
