Introduction
An accident occurred when a pilot experienced a double engine power loss while approaching her destination airport. The airplane subsequently made an off-airport landing, during which it struck a small building and a security fence.
Sequence of Events
Before takeoff, the pilot refueled the main tanks but did not refuel the auxiliary tanks. While using the auxiliary tanks during the approach to the destination airport, she experienced a simultaneous loss of power from both engines. Attempts to restart the engines were unsuccessful. The ensuing forced landing resulted in the airplane colliding with a small building and a security fence.
Post-Accident Findings
An examination of the airplane revealed that the auxiliary tanks were intact, with no evidence of leakage, and were empty. The right main tank contained 20 gallons of fuel remaining. The left main tank had been ruptured at the accident site and was empty. Fuel was present on the ground around the airplane.
