AT ABOUT 60 FT ABOVE THE RWY THE ENG QUIT. THE ACFT STALLED JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN AS THE PLT WAS MANEUVERING TO AVOID SOME GULLIES. ON 7/9/82 THE PLT HAD PURCHASED 1,200 GALS OF REGULAR UNLEADED AUTOMOBILE FUEL FOR USE IN HIS ACFT. PRIOR TO THIS TIME HE HAD USED AVIATION FUEL. FUEL SAMPLES TAKEN FROM THE STORAGE TANKS & WATER FILTERS AT THE PLT'S RANCH SHOWED THE PRESENCE OF AUTOMOBILE FUEL & WATER CONTAMINATION. THE SAMPLE OBTAINED FROM THE CARBURETOR BOWL WAS 95% WATER.
