## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

AIRCRAFT LANDED AT MMU AFTER REPORTING LOW FUEL EMERGENCY. LANDING WAS UNEVENTFUL.  CONTACTED PILOT BY PHONE.  HE REPORTED HE WAS ENROUTE TO MMU FROM 9G7, WHEN THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR ONE OF THE TANKS.  AT THE BROADWAY INTERSECTION (BW2), THE SECOND FUEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON.  HE STATED TO THIS INSPECTOR THAT WITH BOTH LIGHTS ON, HE SHOULD STILL HAVE 15 GALLONS LEFT, WHICH IS ABOUT AN HOUR OF FLIGHT TIME.  MMU ADVISED HIM OF AN NDB 5 APPROACH TO MMU, AND VECTORED HIM TO CHATHAM.  AT THIS POINT, THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SPUTTER.  THE PILOT SWITCHED TANKS FROM RIGHT TO LEFT, AND TURNED ON THE AUX BOOST PUMP.  THE ENGINE RESTARTED.  HE WAS NOW CONCERNED ABOUT HIS FUEL QUANTITY, AND ASKED FOR A STRAIGHT IN APPROACH TO MMU.  ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, WHEN THE AIRCRAFT WAS REFUELED AT MMU, IT TOOK 52.2 GALLONS.  THE USABLE FUEL IS 88 GALLONS.  THE AIRCRAFT IS DUE IN FOR MAINTENANCE, AND THE FUEL SYSTEM WILL BE INSPECTED AT THIS TIME.  NO ACTION IS BEING CONSIDERED AGAINST THE PILOT AT THIS TIME.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
