A fuel system includes a reservoir, a heat exchanger, a heating device, a cracker and a fuel injector. The heat exchanger is configured to vaporize a first flow of liquid ammonia received from the reservoir into ammonia gas using heat energy. The heat exchanger is configured to receive the heat energy from the heating device during a first operating mode. The heat exchanger is configured to receive the heat energy from a turbine engine a second operating mode. The cracker configured to at least partially crack the ammonia gas into hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas. The fuel system is configured to deliver the hydrogen gas or a combination of the hydrogen gas and the nitrogen gas to a fuel injector for injection into a combustion chamber.
