Abstract
A single, unitary fuel/oil manifold for a gas turbine engine is provided which comprises one or more interfaces for mounting various fuel system and lubricating system components directly to the fuel/oil manifold. The fuel/oil manifold also defines fluid passages for transferring fuel or lubricant from one component to another component. Packing numerous fuel system and lubricating system components within the fuel/oil manifold reduces cost and weight and simplifies maintenance.
