Of course this begs the question of why your pilot wasn't fired. After all, if there was enough water in the tanks such that the engine kept quitting on take-off, then it should have appeared when the sumps were drained on pre-flight. I guess they might claim that wrinkles in the fuel bladders were keeping it out of the sumps...yeah, that's the ticket.
