An apparatus, system, and method to control the supplying of fuel to a gas turbine system can be configured to help avoid a flame out condition in which combustion of fuel in the turbine ceases in operation when transitioning from one fuel to another quickly due to dissimilar combustion characteristics. Embodiments can include detecting a sudden loss of a supply of fuel and, in response to such a detection, adjusting at least one control parameter to control adjustment of fuel being provided from one or more other sources to account for the lost fuel source. After a transient time period of fuel switching has past, the control parameter adjustment can be removed so the control parameter(s) are returned to other values associated with normal operation.
