Claim 0:
1. A gas supply system for a gas turbine engine having a fuel system component, the gas supply system comprising:
a fuel oxygen reduction unit having a circuit defining a gas flowpath for a flow of a stripping gas;
one or more temperature sensors operably coupled with the fuel system component; and
a reservoir in selective fluid communication with the fuel oxygen reduction unit and configured to store a portion of the stripping gas from the circuit, the reservoir in selective fluid communication with the fuel system component when installed in a vehicle, wherein the reservoir is configured to provide the stored portion of the stripping gas to the fuel system component in response to detection of the fuel system component exceeding a temperature threshold, wherein the fuel system component is a fuel nozzle or a fuel manifold in a combustor.
