The M-14 injects compressed air into each cylinder for starting. Replace that compressed air with pure oxygen and inject that into the engines cylinders, add gasoline and a spark, and you are looking at a bomb, make no mistake. In addition, the air system in the aircraft usually has a mixture of oils and other "petroleum products" coating the inside of everything, tubes, tanks, actuators, you name it. Fill the air tanks with oxygen and when you open the main valve it goes everywhere. Inside of fittings and pipes, actuators, you name it. You have now taken your whole aircraft and turned it into a potential bomb just waiting for a spark.
The only reason I am writing this long drawn out comment is that this topic is being treated a little bit too casually for my sometimes "over-reacting" self! 
Not only "NO", but *****HELL NO !!!!****** Don't ever even *THINK* of filling the air tanks in these aircraft with pure Oxygen, no matter WHAT the circumstance! *EVER*
And has been mentioned .... it has been done, and the whole thing blew up.
On top of that, if anyone got hurt during such a process, "Criminal Negligence" comes to mind. OMG!
