THE AIRCRAFT CRASHED DURING A FORCED LANDING AFTER ENGINE FAILURE. IT WAS DETERMINED DURING INSPECTION AFTER THE ACCIDENT THAT THE FUEL REMAINING IN THE AIRCRAFT WAS MOSTLY WATER. THE PILOT DURING PREFLIGHT HAD DRAINED THE FUEL SUMPS AND DID NOT FIND ANY WATER. THE ENGINE WAS RUN FOR 30 MINUTES ON THE GROUND AND 1 1/2 HOURS IN THE AIR BEFORE STOPPING. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE SUPPLY SOURCE TO BE EQUIPED WITH FILTERS THAT WILL NOT ALLOW THE FLOW OF WATER THROUGH THEIR SERVICE HOSES. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE RAIN FOR TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THIS FLIGHT.
