THE ACFT LOST POWER DURING TAKEOFF AND WAS FORCED TO LAND IN A MUDDY FIELD. THE CFI SAID HE EXAMINED THE FUEL IN A SIGHTGLASS AFTER REFUELING THE ACFT AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY WATER IN THE FUEL. LATER EXAMINATION OF THE ACFT BY FAA SHOWED WATER IN THE FUEL FILTER AND TANKS. 4 INCHES OF WATER WAS FOUND IN THE AIRPORT STORAGE TANK USED TO FUEL THE ACFT.
