Hi Kelly
Yes, see my earlier post - After a night of
heavy rain, Max’s engine started to sputter 5 minutes after take off the next
morning. He made it safely back to the airport.
I strongly suspect water contamination of his fuel
tanks as his engine was running fine when he shut down the day before. He
normally keeps it in a hangar and as I have personally found out – old rubber
fuel cap seals can get hard and leak after some time. I found this out
under similar situation (heavy rain - not over the ocean).
I suggested Max check his fuel for water
contamination as a starting point.
