A PRIVATE PILOT WAS TAXIING TO THE FUEL PUMP AT KMLI (QUAD CITIES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT) FOLLOWING A FLIGHT IN THE LOCAL AREA. THE PILOT FOLLOWED TAXI LINES, WHILE TAXIING AT A SAFE SPEED, TO THE FUEL CABINETS AND LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO TURN RIGHT IN ORDER TO POSITION THE FUEL CABINETS TO THE LEFT OF THE AIRCRAFT. WHEN THE PILOT STEPPED ON THE RIGHT BRAKE PEDAL, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE PLANE DID NOT RESPOND AS EXPECTED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
