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 plt stated that the 'engine quit during the second takeoff after making a touch and go.' The plt negotiated a 180 deg turn & attempted to land on the airport 'service road'; a truck, however, entered the service road & the plt was forced to land in a parking lot. The landing was downwind & the acft could not be stopped prior to colliding with the fence. Examination of the eng/fuel system disclosed that the #4 lower spark plug did not fire due to a cracked insulator. Fuel was found in the gascolator bowl; the bowl also contained minor water deposits and other contaminates. The vent on the left fuel tank cap was plugged.
