Abstract
An inlet tube supplies fuel to a manifold of a combustor in a gas turbine engine, the manifold defining a manifold plane. The inlet tube comprises a tube body having a channel providing fluid flow communication between first and second ends of the tube body. At least a portion of the channel defines a tube body plane which is spaced apart from the manifold plane.
