What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Upon returning from an aerial spray, the pilot privacy data omitted stated his fuel guages were at 1/4 each when the engine failed. He attempted to build fuel pressure with the "wobble pump", but felt it wasn't working. He made an emergency landing in a corn field, which caused the aircraft to flip over. The pilot privacy data omitted sustained minor injuries, and the aircraft sustained substantial damage, as the cockpit and tip of the vertical stabilizer/rudder were crushed. There was no fire.
