Abstract
A mounting method and system for supporting and positioning an internal fuel manifold relative to a combustor in a fuel injection system for a gas turbine engine. The method includes positioning the fuel manifold within a gas generator casing, applying a heat shield around a radially extending fuel inlet connected to the fuel manifold, and using the heat shield to at least partially support the fuel manifold within the gas generator casing.
