## Narrative

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

(-23)FUEL CHECK VALVE FAILED DUE TO FUEL DEPOSITS COLLECTING IN CHECK VALVE AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME THAT THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT FLY. PILOT REPORTS THAT THE VALVE WAS CLEANED ABOUT 30 HOURS AGO.  ON LANDING, AIRCRAFT WING TIP/FUEL TANK STRUCK THE GROUND.  THE FUEL WING TIP TANK BROKE OPEN SPILLING FUEL.  THE FUEL AND AIRCRAFT CAUGHT ON FIRE.  AIRPORT PERSONNEL USED A HAND FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE RESULTING IN MINOR DAMAGE.

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.
