Why is Simultaneous Injection of Fuel Oil and Starting Air into a Main Engine Cylinder Undesirable and How is it Prevented?

Why is Simultaneous Injection of Fuel Oil and Starting Air into a Main Engine Cylinder Undesirable and How is it Prevented?

Simultaneous Injection of Fuel and Starting Air into a Cylinder is Undesirable as it could lead to an Explosion in the Start Air System. 
It is prevented by means of Interlock, which prevents Fuel being Injected when the Air Start Auto Valve is Open. 

The Interlock Operates a Stop Solenoid, which keeps the Fuel Rack at Zero Position.
