Abstract
The described method of supplying fuel to an internal fuel manifold of a bypass gas turbine engine includes directing a fuel flow through a fuel fairing having an outer surface exposed to a cool bypass airflow, directing the fuel flow in the fuel fairing through a heat exchanging structure on the outer surface of the fuel fairing to cool the fuel flow being below a coking temperature of the fuel, and then feeding the cooled fuel flow from the fuel fairing to the internal fuel manifold.
