A flow divider valve for a gas turbine engine fuel supply system is provided. The flow divider valve is configured, whenever fuel pressure at its inlet port is between a first predetermined pressure and a second predetermined pressure, to supply the fuel to a start nozzle manifold outlet port at a substantially constant flow rate, and to direct any fuel flow in excess of the substantially constant flow rate to a run nozzle manifold outlet port.
