To me it sounds a lot like it doesn't.
Why bother with this fringe science stuff that makes all these claims that no one else can ever seem to reproduce?

And they run into the same snag - undriveable except in a narrow operating regime.
The system works outside the hocus pocus verbiage the inventor uses by leveraging the principles of thermal depolymerization and steam reformation. It has been called a small refinery by experts. However, the lack of true closed loop controls means it is an iffy thing to run the GEET system. Also, being a heat process, starting it is dependent on the light evaporative components of the fuel. And, when the exhaust temperature drops below a certain point, the process stops and reverts back to running on the lighter fuel components which may have been already consumed to a large degree - so the engine sputters and stops.
Measurement of the exhaust using an O2 sensor has shown lean burn in excess of a ratio of 28:1 - far beyond what the Honda Lean Burn system can reliably produce. Can you see an application as an augmenting device?
