Incident Overview
A pilot conducting a local visual flight rules (VFR) flight encountered a total loss of engine power as the airplane reached the western boundary of the airport. During the subsequent emergency landing, the aircraft's right wing struck a gas station sign. The airplane then came to rest in an inverted position approximately 108 feet southeast of the sign.
Wreckage Examination
Examination of the wreckage revealed that both wing fuel caps did not seal properly against the filler necks. Additionally, the undamaged gascolator bowl contained water. Further inspection found extensive rust particles in the carburetor bowl, accelerator pump housing, and inlet oil screen.
