Abstract
The igniter for the combustor in a gas turbine engine includes a tubular member extending beyond the igniter tip, wherein the tubular member is a porous ceramic or high temperature nickel alloy. Fuel is fed to the bore of the tubular member by capillary action through the porous material of the tubular member and air passes through the porous tubular member to the bore.
