ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the fuel system of a gas turbine power plant and modifies a conventional fuel control to automatically vent trapped air contained in the fuel control and fuel distribution system into the engine's burners by bypassing the conventional minimum pressure and shut off valve. This serves to prime the main fuel pumps when running dry during the switching of one fuel tank to another.
