An emergency fuel shut-off system for a gas turbine engine comprises a fuel shut-off device to be actuated for terminating a fuel supply to the engine in response to a mechanical actuation force and an actuator adapted for creating the mechanical actuation force when a rotor shaft of the engine fails. A fuse apparatus is provided to link the actuator with the shut-off device in order to transmit the mechanical actuation force. The fuse apparatus disables transmission of the mechanical actuation force when the transmitted mechanical actuation force exceeds a pre-selected level.
