Claim:
1. A method for injecting fuel by an air/fuel mixer system having a central geometric axis of symmetry, in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine, the method comprising: injecting fuel in the air/fuel mixer system using a fuel injector having a fuel injector axis of symmetry parallel to the axis of symmetry of the air/fuel mixer system and separate from the axis of symmetry of the air/fuel mixer system, wherein the combustion chamber includes at least one of a first fixing having an axis and is arranged in a housing that includes at least one of a corresponding second fixing having an axis, and the at least one first and the at least one second corresponding fixings which attach the combustion chamber to the housing are angularly offset in relation to a nominal aligned reference position in which the combustion chamber and the housing are aligned thereby separating the fuel injector axis of symmetry and the axis of symmetry of the air/fuel mixer system when the axis of the at least one first fixing and the axis of at least one corresponding second fixing are angularly offset, and wherein the fuel injector is integral with the housing and the air/fuel mixer system is integral with the combustion chamber.
