Abstract

A fuel distribution manifold for a gas turbine engine is disclosed herein. The fuel distribution manifold includes a manifold body, a stage divider, and a plurality of manifold outlet ports. The stage divider subdivides an internal volume of the manifold body into a primary stage volume and a secondary stage volume. A majority of the plurality of manifold outlet ports extends from the manifold body between the primary inlet port and the stage divider, each being fluidly connected to the primary stage volume. A remainder of the plurality of manifold outlet ports extends from the manifold body between the secondary inlet port and the stage divider, each being fluidly connected to the secondary stage volume.
