Narrative:

Our before takeoff checklist was completed and we taxied onto runway 21 at mkc. Our ground roll was normal, our lift-off was normal. At about 100 ft AGL, the engine lost about 200 FPM. I elected to turn around and land on runway 1 since I had partial power. About halfway through the turn, I lost complete power, I was now dropping quickly and could not make runway 1. So I straightened out and landed in the grass between runway and taxiway, locked the brakes up, skidded between the citation and a bonanza and came to rest about 15-20 ft from a pickup truck. Upon later examination of the aircraft, water was found in the left tank, which is what the fuel selector was on. No water was found on preflight of the aircraft. With the presence of the FAA inspectors, I strained it again and found no water. Later, the owner of the aircraft strained it for the inspectors and found water. Supplemental information from acn 344140: I radioed the tower to tell them that we were landing on runway 1. They came back and said negative, runway 1 is closed. I didn't respond, they came back and said I see this is an emergency. We chose to land across the runway through the grass, and onto a ramp. There were no injuries, and there was no damage to anything.

Narrative: OUR BEFORE TKOF CHKLIST WAS COMPLETED AND WE TAXIED ONTO RWY 21 AT MKC. OUR GND ROLL WAS NORMAL, OUR LIFT-OFF WAS NORMAL. AT ABOUT 100 FT AGL, THE ENG LOST ABOUT 200 FPM. I ELECTED TO TURN AROUND AND LAND ON RWY 1 SINCE I HAD PARTIAL PWR. ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE TURN, I LOST COMPLETE PWR, I WAS NOW DROPPING QUICKLY AND COULD NOT MAKE RWY 1. SO I STRAIGHTENED OUT AND LANDED IN THE GRASS BTWN RWY AND TXWY, LOCKED THE BRAKES UP, SKIDDED BTWN THE CITATION AND A BONANZA AND CAME TO REST ABOUT 15-20 FT FROM A PICKUP TRUCK. UPON LATER EXAMINATION OF THE ACFT, WATER WAS FOUND IN THE L TANK, WHICH IS WHAT THE FUEL SELECTOR WAS ON. NO WATER WAS FOUND ON PREFLT OF THE ACFT. WITH THE PRESENCE OF THE FAA INSPECTORS, I STRAINED IT AGAIN AND FOUND NO WATER. LATER, THE OWNER OF THE ACFT STRAINED IT FOR THE INSPECTORS AND FOUND WATER. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 344140: I RADIOED THE TWR TO TELL THEM THAT WE WERE LNDG ON RWY 1. THEY CAME BACK AND SAID NEGATIVE, RWY 1 IS CLOSED. I DIDN'T RESPOND, THEY CAME BACK AND SAID I SEE THIS IS AN EMER. WE CHOSE TO LAND ACROSS THE RWY THROUGH THE GRASS, AND ONTO A RAMP. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO ANYTHING.
