THE OWNER HAD PREFLIGHTED THE ACFT AND FOUND NO WATER IN THE FUEL SUMPS. THE CFI DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE PREFLIGHT OR EVEN WITNESS IT BUT ACCEPTED THE OWNERS ASSESSMENT SINCE HE HAD SEEN THE OWNER PREFLT ON A PRIOR OCCASION. THE FLT PROCEEDED NORMALLY UNTIL THE CFI MADE SOME STEEP TURNS. THE ENGINE
