It didn't control the burn - it simply injected a small quantity of ether which dieseled.
Potentially, any moderate to high-powered springer will diesel if any kind of combustible lube is present in the cylinder ahead of the seal - whether introduced deliberately or accidentally.
Fact is, if 'they' are out to get you, under the present laws 'they' can . On the other hand, the actual number of instances where guns have been seized appears to be very small and we must therefore assume that the number where a seized gun has been deliberately doctored by the authorities to go over the limit on subsequent official test, even smaller.
Happy Shooting!! Paul.
