System and method for purging a fuel manifold of a gas turbine engine using a flow divider assembly

A fuel system of a gas turbine engine, the fuel system comprising:

• a first fuel manifold fluidly connected to a combustor of the gas turbine engine;
• a second fuel manifold fluidly connected to the combustor;
• and
• a flow divider assembly actuatable between a first configuration and a second configuration, the flow divider assembly including:
• a first flow divider valve, in the first and second configurations of the flow divider assembly, configured to supply fuel to the first fuel manifold;
• a second flow divider valve, in the first configuration of the flow divider assembly, configured to supply fuel to the second fuel manifold, and in the second configuration of the flow divider assembly, configured to stop supplying fuel to the second fuel manifold;
• and
• a purge valve, in the second configuration of the flow divider assembly, discharging pressurized gas to the second fuel manifold via the second flow divider valve to flush fuel in the second fuel manifold into the combustor,
• wherein the first and second flow divider valves are operatively disposed in series between a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet to the second fuel manifold.
