Probable cause
installation of an incorrect fuel filter in the fuel tanker, which allowed water-contaminated fuel being dispensed into the aircraft, subsequent partial loss of engine power on initial takeoff climb, and a forced landing. The lack of suitable terrain for a forced landing was a related factor.
