Mooney Engine Problems in Flight

Just a curiosity...

I believe you mentioned that you did not yet have your instrument ticket,
but you keep referring to VFR-on-top, which is flown, in the US, on an IFR
flightplan.

Am I missing something?

Thanks to everybody for your responses. Sounds like the general consensus
is
either water in the fuel or some other fuel contamination. I'm taking the
plane up to LASAR to have them drain the tanks and go through the whole
fuel
system. Hopefully they can find something that would explain what
happened.
This sure makes me think twice about VFR on top or even night flying.

Been so long not sure you can do this???

In cold country you can get an alcohol based additive that will absorb
water in tank and let it go through the engine with no problem.

If the 360 system is suitable for the alcohol based additive then you
can get any water (small amounts you can't drain on pre flight) out of
tank that way vs major work by an A & E.

Check this out.

Any comments from the peanut gallery G
