## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING ROUTINE LOCAL FLIGHT PILOT NOTICED THAT THE HEADER TANK WAS RUNNING LOW ON FUEL. AIRCRAFT HAD PLENTY OF FUEL IN WING TANKS, BUT FOR REASONS UNKNOWN, THE ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP WAS NOT REPLENISHING THE HEADER TANK.  THE PILOT HEADED BACK TO THE AIRPORT.  JUST PRIOR TO APPROACHING THE AIRPORT THE ENGINE QUIT. THE PILOT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING ON A GRASS FIELD NEARBY THE AIRPORT.  AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO AIRPORT AND PUT IN HANGAR.  FUEL PUMP HAD BEEN REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 2 FLIGHT HOURS PRIOR TO THIS FAILURE.

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.
