  "textContent": "Embodiments can provide systems and methods for detecting fuel leaks in gas turbine engines. According to one embodiment, there is disclosed a method for detecting a fuel leak in a gas turbine engine. The method may include adjusting a control valve (118) to correspond with a desired fuel flow (120). The method may also include determining an actual fuel flow (130) based at least in part on an upstream pressure in a fuel manifold (122) and one or more gas turbine engine parameters (126). The method may also include comparing the desired fuel flow (120) with the actual fuel flow (130). Moreover, the method may include determining a difference between the desired fuel flow (120) and the actual fuel flow (130), wherein the difference indicates a fuel leak.",
