Abstract
A gas turbine engine fuel distribution system includes a fuel distribution valve having a single fuel inlet and a plurality of fuel discharge ports, each of which are connected by an individual fuel manifold to the inlet of an engine fuel injector. The distribution valve has identical fuel metering holes for distributing meter fuel flow to each manifold and injector and an adjustable flow control plug located downstream of the fuel metering holes is accessible during fuel flow through the system to adjust for system inequalities to balance the system during its operation.
