Aircraft involved
Factual narrative
THE ENGINE STOPPED PRODUCING FULL POWER AND THE PILOT HAD TO MAKE A FORCED LANDING IN A PASTURE. DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED A FENCE. THE PILOT SAID HE FOUND FUEL IN BOTH TANKS BUT THE RIGHT TANK HAD COLLAPSED DUE TO THE TANK VENT BEING PLUGGED WITH RESIDUE THAT WAS PLACED THERE BY MUD DAUBERS. HE SAID THE LEFT TANK STILL HAD MORE FUEL REMAINING THAN THE RIGHT AND HAD NOT COLLAPSED. ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER, THIS AIRPLANE HAS INDIVIDUAL FUEL TANK VENTS AND THEY ARE NOT INTERCONNECTED.
