3 - LESSONS LEARNED AND CONCLUSION
The distinctive feature of the tank and its assembly, with an area of retention around the cap, made it possible for the rainwater that had fallen in the days preceding the flight to accumulate and enter the fuel tank. This considerable presence of water in the fuel circuit led to the engine shut down.
The lack of a purge of the fuel tank before the flight did not enable this water to be evacuated.
The absence of approval of the fuel tank by the aeroplane manufacturer may have contributed to the occurrence of this accident.
The Swiss and German investigation authorities were informed that this metal tank made water infiltration possible via the tank cap. They were requested to inform the owners of aeroplanes equipped with this tank.
