 SumpThis: Fuel Contamination in General Aviation Aircraft
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has reported that since 1975, Piper Model PA-23 Apache airplanes have been involved in fourteen accidents and a Piper Model PA-23 Aztex airplane has been involved in one accident, all of which occurred after water in the fuel system led to engine stoppage.
Accordingly, an AD is being proposed, applicable to all Piper PA-23 series airplanes, which would require compliance with the periodic inspections specified in Piper Service Bulletin No. 340 regardless of whether or not they have anti-icing fuel cell vents installed.
