Abstract
A fuel manifold of gas turbine engines comprises a tube for fluid communication with a fuel source and for connection with at least one fuel nozzle tip to thereby define a fuel conveying passage. A redundant seal is provided around the tube and covers substantially an entire length thereof to reduce a risk of fuel leakage of the fuel conveying passage.
