Abstract

Apparatus for the injection of fuel into a gas turbine which is adapted to remove the fuel from the injectors when the turbine is to be stopped. Each injector provides separate, parallel fuel flow paths from a pair of fuel inlet connections toward a plurality of atomizing apertures. When the turbine is to be stopped, one of the inlet connections is connected to a source of compressed air and the other is connected to a sump for the fuel.
