ABSTRACT:
Fuel control apparatus including a fuel conduit connected to receive pressurized fuel from a fuel pump and provided with fuel servo actuated metering valve means therein for controlling the rate of fuel flow therethrough to an engine. The fuel servo actuated metering valve is actuated by a fuel servo piston pressurized by a servo valve controlled fuel pressure differential derived from a predetermined fuel pressure differential maintained by a pressurizing valve downstream from and in series flow relationship with the metering valve. The metered fuel flow for actuating the servo piston is extracted from the fuel conduit upstream from the pressurizing valve and returned to the fuel conduit downstream from the pressurizing valve.
