So walk us through the scenario that has the aircraft do a forced landing then fly out soon after, Ix.

Mine is the aircraft ran out of fuel because of one or both of: (1) fuel indications overreading because of water that should have been but wasn’t detected on a pre-flight inspection, and; (2) failure to properly calculate FOB and fuel needed for the trip.

In this scenario, the aircraft is rendered serviceable by removing the water, if any, from the system and putting fuel in the tanks. No SFP or PUS required. Bad mistake by the PIC. Poor reflection on the CP and C&T system. No tin foil hat required either.
