A fuel tank inerting system is disclosed. The system includes a fuel tank (202) and a catalytic reactor (222) with an inlet, an outlet, a reactive flow path between the inlet and the outlet, and a catalyst on the reactive flow path. The catalytic reactor (222) is arranged to receive fuel from a fuel flow path in operative communication with the fuel tank (202) and oxygen from an oxygen source, and to catalytically react a mixture of the fuel and oxygen along the reactive flow path to generate an inert gas. An inert gas flow path provides inert gas from the catalytic reactor to the fuel tank. An adsorbent is disposed along the fuel flow path or along the reactive flow path.
