There is air down there?

I have a perplexing problem.

 

i have made a German Type VIIC 43 u boat. Now it’s equipped with batteries to drive the screws, and it has a diesel generator to recharge the batteries. 
 

just like the real thing, you run on batteries while submerged, but periodically you have to surface to recharge them.

 

here is my problem: 

the diesel generator works under water. I have made it require both fuel and Intake air to run, heck I even have the Snorkel that goes up and down to raise the IntakeAir point above the sea. (Set it up in Unity as gameobject intake attached to animated snorkel)

 

no matter what I seem to try, the generator will work underwater and above. It even “checks for air”

is this a bug where the Kerbin seas are that saturated with air?

Yes, I believe so.  Last time I checked, air breathing engines work underwater.     Not a modder, but would adding a check to the engine to see if the ships altitude is ="submerged" and !snorkel work?

And being a sub fan (cough looks at avatar cough standing on VII turm cough), I'd love to see a WIP thread on this.
