Gas Turbines USCG Question #268 (Set 3)

Gas turbine fuel manifold pressure is established by which of the following actions?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Rotating the gas generator.

Fuel manifold pressure is directly dependent on the rotational speed of the gas generator. As the gas generator accelerates, the engine-driven fuel pump increases output, raising the pressure within the fuel manifold to ensure proper atomization and distribution through the fuel nozzles for stable combustion during engine operation.
