Tim,
Speaking from personal experience ,you are dead on !
Even though CO2 is harmless , you must have enough oxygen to live.

About 20 years ago, my old boss left a propane forklift running in our shop all day long.He was trying to charge the batteries ! Anyway, I figured he was smart enough to open a door or something but he was not. I remember feeling woozy and sweating a lot as the level of CO2 grew , then I remember waking up in a chair in the parking lot and another employee shaking me and asking if I was OK .

I was lucky and wound up with only a bad headache.

I suppose the forklift would have eventually stopped on its own due to lack of oxygen but I don't think I will be a part of that experiment!
