Unfortunately it happens all too often this time of year.
Private Aircraft, warm days and cool nights equals condensed water vapor in the fuel tanks.
The engine quits due to water in the fuel line on full power climb out at low altitude.
Without enough airspeed or altitude to make an emergency landing they crash.

I remember putting that evil ethanol in the fuel tank during the winter so we wouldn’t have frozen gas lines.

Is there a way to counter the vapor? Add more fuel before flying? Run the plane more minutes before take-off?
