Are you asserting that a detonation began, encountered a detonation suppressor,
and was successfully suppressed?

WRT detonation, there is such a beast as a deflagration-to-detonationthat
transition, and people put a lot of work into preventing or postponing
transition. No one talks about reversing it. My understanding is that ifyou
have a detonable mixture, and a detonation begins, it continues until the
mixture is consumed.
There's been a ton of work on the reverse, they're called detonation
supressors. For when you want fire with less boom.
A detonation in that fuel/lox mixture would indeed stop when it ran
out of detonable mixture. The bulk LOX and bulk kerosene are not
individually detonable.
