A fuel system for a gas turbine engine includes a fuel tank, a first fuel pump, an inlet ejector, and an ejector control valve. The first fuel pump includes a fuel inlet and a fuel outlet. The first fuel pump is connected in fluid communication with the fuel tank by an inlet conduit at the fuel inlet. The first fuel pump is connected in fluid communication with an outlet conduit at the fuel outlet. The inlet ejector includes an ejector nozzle disposed within the inlet conduit. The ejector control valve is connected in fluid communication between the ejector nozzle and the outlet conduit, and the ejector control valve is selectively positionable in an open position or a closed position to control a flow of fuel from the outlet conduit through the ejector nozzle to the inlet conduit.
