Incident Overview
The pilot-in-command (PIC) reported that during an instrument approach, the left engine fuel pressure dropped to zero and the engine ceased operating. The pilot then moved the fuel selector to the right rear fuel tank, which allowed the left engine to restart. The approach continued for approximately two miles when the right engine failed, followed shortly by the left engine. The PIC executed a forced landing onto a sandbar.
Post-Accident Examination
An examination of the airplane following the landing revealed that the fuel tanks were not ruptured. However, all fuel tanks were found to be empty.
Probable Cause
The official probable cause for the incident was the pilot-in-command's improper management of fuel, which resulted in a total loss of engine power on both engines during an instrument approach due to fuel exhaustion.
