What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) privacy data omitted the pilot refueled the aircraft at his destination from two five gallon containers he had serviced and brought with him on the all cargo flight. One of the containers, it was determined, had a partial filling of deicing fluid and he had topped this off with 100 ll. The aircraft fueling was not filtered as required by the operators manual for this type fueling. The pilot discovered the contamination when he drained the aircraft sumps. He continued the sampling procedure on the right tank, which was effected, until the sample was "relatively clear." He did his t.o. on the left tank and tried the right tank near the next airport enroute. The engine lost power and the left tank was selected again and power was restored. The pilot continued the flight to the next Village (approx. 30 miles) where he landed. He fueled the left tank and continued his flight to his final destination using the left fuel tank only. On landing there he wrote the discrepancy into the flight/maintenance log book. No notification to the FAA was made, discovered during routine surveillance.
