A fuel system for a hydrogen fueled aircraft propulsion system comprises first and second hydrogen fuel tanks configured to store liquid hydrogen, first fuel line and second fuel lines configured to supply hydrogen from the first hydrogen fuel tank to a combustor of a first gas turbine engine and from the second hydrogen fuel tank to a combustor of a second gas turbine engine respectively. First and second fuel pumps are provided, each being configured to pump fuel in a respective first and second fuel line. First and second fuel heaters are provided, each being configured to heat fuel in a respective first and second fuel line. A fuel cross-feed fuel line is provided, which is configured to transfer fuel between the first and second fuel lines. The fuel cross-feed line is provided downstream in fuel flow of the first and second fuel heaters.
