THE PLT STATED THE ACFT WAS TOPPED WITH 30 GALS OF AUTO FUEL PRIOR TO DEPARTING FOR THE OPEN HOUSE AT MCDILL AFB. THE FLT TO MCDILL WAS NORMAL. BEFORE DEPARTURE, ABOUT 1/2 INCH OF WATER WAS DRAINED FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM DURING PREFLT INSPECTION. AT ABOUT 300 FT IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE ENGINE QUIT & THE PLT MADE A FORCED LDG INTO A FIELD WHERE THE RT WING OF THE ACFT HIT A POLE AS IT SLID ALONG ON THE BELLY. THE ENGINE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TEST-RUN SATISFACTORILY.
