Definitely a convenient feature if you are planning to launch your Bricklin
into space, but something would still have to compress the air into the tank.
It might need a slight modification to the valves, and probably reinforcements
of the door and hinges, but I suppose you could manually push the doors
closed to force air back into the tank. You could even charge the tank up in a
similar manner. Simply stand next to the car and and pump the door up and down
a
few times by hand, then you would not need a compressor at all.
Actually, there are a couple Bricklins with manual doors, like big hatchback
lift struts. It's a closed system with no compressor.
