## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB CHI94LA198](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI94LA198), Jun 13, 1994: Beech 18 (N231LJ), Belleville, MI, substantial damage. Probable cause: the failure of the fuel line on the unique STC'd engine installation. A related factor is the improper installation of a fuel line by company maintenance personnel.
