ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine augmentor fuel manifold is provided which includes a hollow body, a plurality of fuel valves and a cleansing port disposed in the hollow body, and apparatus for selectively admitting fuel into the hollow body. The hollow body has a forward surface and an aft surface. When the apparatus for selectively admitting fuel into the hollow body is in an off position, core gas flowing past the hollow body enters the cleansing port and purges the interior of the hollow body of residual fuel and fuel residue, thereby cleaning the hollow body.
