THE PLT STATED THAT, AFTER REFUELING WITH AUTO GAS AT THE PVT AIRSTRIP, WATER WAS FOUND IN THE FUEL BEING DRAINED FM THE SUMPS. AFTER ROCKING THE ACFT SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTING NO FURTHER WATER ACCUMULATION IN THE FUEL SAMPLES, THE PLT FURTHER STATED, A TAKE-OFF AND DEPARTURE WERE DECIDED UPON. THE TAKE-OFF WAS NORMAL BUT DURING PWR REDUCTION, ON INITIAL CLIMB, THE ENGINE LOST PWR AND AN IMMEDIATE RTRN TO THE ARPT WAS ATTEMPTED. THE ACFT ARRIVED HIGH AND FAST OVER THE RWY THRESHOLD WHEN THE PLT FAILED TO DEPLOY THE FLAPS. AFT FLOATING ALMOST THE FULL LENGTH OF THE RWY, THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN 200 FT FM THE DEPT END. IT BOUNCED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF RWY, COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR WHEN COMING TO REST ON AN ARPT PERIMETER FENCE. A POST-ACCIDENT INSPECTION OF THE ACFT'S LOGBOOKS REVEALED THAT A.D. NOTES 83-13-01 AND 84-10-01, PERTAINING TO WATER CONTAMINATION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM, WERE NOT COMPLIED WITH.
