## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT REPORTED THIS AS THE FIRST FLIGHT OF THE DAY. 10 MINUTES INTO THE FLIGHT THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE STOPPED, PILOT MADE A FORCED LANDING IN AN UNSUITABLE FIELD. FIELD INSPECTION OF FUEL SYSTEM REVEALED APPROXIMATELY 4 TO 6 OUNCES OF WATER. THE WATER THAT WAS DISCOVERED WAS COLLECTED BY DISCONNECTING THE FUEL LINE AT THE CARBURETOR AND DRAINING THE FIRE WALL FUEL STRAINER INTO A CLEAR CONTAINER. WATER WAS ALSO DISCOVERED IN THE PRIMER SYSTEM. PRIMARY FACTOR THAT CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WAS FUEL CONTAMINATION FROM WATER.
