Del,The wrinkles in the bottom of the bladder tank, in the 210, held watereven through the fuelling process and preflight draining of tanks andgascolater. After the aircraft was taxied and accelerated with take offpower, sloshing the fuel well, the water was kicked loose from the foldsof the tank and plugged the fuel system. Gary made a 90 degree rightturn from 400 ft., got the gear back down, and landed in a farmersfield. This is not a trick that I would like to try. For one thing,today there is a church parking lot there.Lauren________________________________________________________________________________
