Was it not true that if for whatever reasons the diesels running at standard had only the air inside the submarine to feed them that they would evacuate the entire subs air supply in like 3 seconds and turn the tube into a vacuum?

Think I read that in Iron Coffins, then the men working in an almost "outer space" type environment would have to clear whatever was keeping the schnorkel from supplying air. Or die.
