Those are the results with the best design that I have built so far.
The word "success" is misleading. You make observations and draw data from the observations.

If your observed data meets your expectations then perhaps it is a success or perhaps not.

How do you explain why the engine only runs for 7 minutes and not 8 or more minutes?

Did you try depressurizing the fuel injection line during the 7 minute cycle?

After I complete the full system I'll know everything. Right now me getting a 7 minute run time on a system that is far from complete is very good. I was never expecting such excellent results on something that is not even fully complete.

The full system includes 3 generators, auxiliary power supply system, a reservoir, and a complete fuel control system taking direct control over the van's fuel pump and hho generators. For the van to run a full 7 minutes on one generator not even running at full capacity blows me away. I'm shocked at the results.

At one point while testing a different generator design I got about 12 minutes run time. I had a few issues with that one though. The generator that gives me 7 minutes run time is the most stable one.

The fuel line was depressurized during the test and I believe that the complete system will run much much longer.
