hmm can I put air with a bicycle pump in? and gas with tank injection?
if jes, how should the ratio of air/gas be?
Have a good read and understand the concept first ;)

Ordinary combustion cannons use a mixture of air and fuel at atmospheric pressure. For a typical fuel like butane or propane the ratio is about 4% fuel, for example 4mL of Propane in a 100mL chamber.

In a hybrid, the mixture is under pressure, and for every bar of pressure you add, you have to add one volume of fuel.

For example in a 100mL chamber pressurised to 3 bar (45 psi), you have to add 16mL of fuel.

It doesn't matter as long as you have pressure ;)
