A fuel conditioning apparatus (100,200) for de-oxygenating a liquid hydrocarbon fuel has a catalyst portion (110) which, in turn, has an inlet portion (140) and an outlet portion (150). A hydrocarbon fuel stream (120) is fed through the inlet portion (140) and into the catalyst portion (110) where it passes over a catalytically active component. The catalytically active component promotes the reaction of the fuel with the dissolved oxygen in the fuel stream, converting it into less chemically reactive forms and thereby reducing the fuel's propensity to form carbonaceous deposits.
