Has anyone ever had an engine failure at night? If so, How did it end?
I was out flying the other night. I was about 5 miles south of my departure point, and my engine had a nasty sputter. I honestly thought it was going to quit. Preflight inspection looked fine, and the runup seemed perfectly fine.
After a second, the engine was running fine, and the engine instruments looked normal. It seemed to be producing normal power output. So, I'm thinking maybe some water got pumped in from the fuel truck that didnt settle in time to get drained during the dirt/water checks.
