FUEL MANIFOLD ADAPTER

A fuel manifold adapter (100) for a fuel system of an aircraft engine (10), the fuel manifold adapter (100) comprising: a body (110) having a body-output interface (112) defining a downstream end (116a) of a body passage (116) including a body bore about a bore axis, the body-output interface (112) movably and fluidly connectable to a first component (30) of the fuel system mounted to a first mounting point (40) of the engine (10), and a body-input interface (114) defining an upstream end (116b) of the body passage (116), the body-input interface (114) rigidly and fluidly connectable to a second component (50) of the fuel system mounted to a second mounting point (60) of the engine (10), and a transfer tube (122) having an upstream-tube end (122a) slidably engaged with the body (110) along the bore axis via the body bore, the transfer tube (122) having a downstream-tube end (122b) opposite the upstream-tube end (122a) slidably engageable along the bore axis with the first component (30), the downstream-tube end (122b) defining a downstream end of the fuel manifold adapter (100) relative to fuel flow through the fuel manifold adapter (100).
