Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The airplane had not had an annual inspection and had not been flown for over a year. The pilot stated he found no contamination during the draining of the fuel sumps. Shortly after takeoff, the engine started sputtering and eventually stopped. During the forced landing, the airplane hit an irrigation ditch and flipped forward to the inverted position. Inspection indicated contaminated fuel.
