## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS FULLY FUELED WITH A FUEL CAPACITY OF 48.5 GALLONS OF USABLE FUEL BEFORE BEING RENTED AND FLOWN 2.6 HOURS.  WITHOUT REFUELING ANOTHER PILOT RENTED THE AIRCRAFT AND FLEW 1.8 HOURS BEFORE THE ENGINE RAN ROUGH AND QUIT.  AT THIS TIME THE PILOT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING IN A CORN FIELD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS EXAMINED AT THE CRASH SIGHT AND THE FUEL GAUGES INDICATED NO FUEL IN THE RIGHT TANK AND A VERY SMALL AMOUNT IN THE LEFT TANK.  THE ENGINE WAS STARTED BY A MECHANIC AT THE CRASH SIGHT WHEN THE LEFT FUEL TANK WAS SELECTED.
