How hazardous would igniting the fuel-shell be? How much larger do the engines have to be, if they have to be at all, to consume two different types of fuel?

  Polyethylene is more or less inert under atmospheric conditions.

  It's not two different types of fuel and all rockets do this. It's an oxidizer and a fuel. For instance a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. React the two and you get energy in the process... and water. So for instance most of the space shuttle's main engine exhaust was water vapor! Quite counter intuitive.
