AN SMT PLT RAN OUT OF AVAILABLE FUEL AND HAD TO DITCH IN A LAKE.

Narrative

I REQUESTED 25 GALLONS PER SIDE FROM GND SVC. I DSNDED TO THE INITIAL ALT FOR THE APCH WHICH IS 2700 FT. I BELIEVED I WAS THEN CLRED FOR THE VISUAL APCH. I SLOWED THE ACFT TO APCH SPEED; LOWERED THE FLAPS; AND PERFORMED MY APCH CHKLIST. AFTER XING WAKEL INTXN (IAF) THE FUEL XFEED LIGHT CAME ON. I SUSPECTED A BOOST PUMP FAILURE. I CYCLED THE R BOOST PUMP SWITCH; RESET AND ARMED THE AUTO XFEED SWITCH. THE XFEED LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO INSPECT MY FUEL PANEL. ALL SWITCHES WERE UP AND ON; FUEL QUANTITY INDICATED 200 POUNDS PER SIDE. I CHECKED AUTO IGNITION AND ALL OTHER APPROPRIATE SWITCHES ON. AT THAT TIME THE XFEED LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN FOLLOWED BY THE R FUEL PRESSURE LIGHT. THE R ENG THEN LOST PWR. I VERIFIED AND FEATHERED THE R ENG. AS I DID SO; THE FUEL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE L SIDE CAME ON FOLLOWED BY A PWR LOSS ON THE L SIDE. I VERIFIED AND FEATHERED THE L SIDE; RAISED THE GEAR AND FLAPS WHILE CONTACTING TWR TO DECLARE AN EMER. A FEW SECONDS LATER IT BECAME CLR THAT I WOULD NOT MAKE THE FIELD. I ADVISED THE TWR OF THAT. BECAUSE OF MY ALT; I HAD NO TIME TO ANALYZE ANYTHING FURTHER; BUT PREPARED FOR A DITCHING IN PONTIAC LAKE WHICH WAS STRAIGHT AHEAD. AFTER LNDG; I SHUT OFF THE BATTERY AND GENERATORS AND EXITED THE ACFT. AFTER IT WAS ALL OVER; I CHKED MY FUEL RECEIPTS AND VERIFIED WITH THE FUELING FACILITIES THAT THE REQUESTED FUEL LOAD WAS PUT ON THE PLANE. MY GAUGES HAD INDICATED CORRECTLY; THE QUANTITIES. RECALCULATION OF FUEL BURN VERIFIED 50 MIN OF FUEL RESERVE. AT THIS TIME; I DON'T KNOW WHAT WAS FOUND IN REGARDS TO THE PLANE BUT IT IS CLR THAT THE ENGS WERE NOT RECEIVING FUEL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF A DUPLICATE MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION ON BOTH SIDES ARE SLIM INDEED. WHICH BRINGS US TO FUEL MGMNT. THE ONLY SCENARIO THAT I CAN COME UP WITH AFTER THE FACT IS THAT I FAILED TO TURN ON MY TRANSFER PUMPS AND DELIVER THE 25 GALLONS A SIDE; TO THE NACELLE TANKS. BUT WHEN I HAD LOOKED AT THE FUEL CONTROL PANEL FOLLOWING THE XFEED LIGHT; I BELIEVE I SAW THEM ON. THIS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH GREATER CARE TO THE CHKLIST. IF I HAD REQUESTED THE FUEL BE PUT IN THE NACELLE TANKS IN THE FIRST PLACE; THEN NO REQUIREMENT FOR THE TRANSFER PUMPS WOULD HAVE EXISTED. LAST OF ALL IS MY BELIEF THAT A 2 PLT OP UTILIZING THE COMMAND AND RESPONSE METHOD WOULD PROBABLY HAVE IDENTED ANY FAILURE TO ACTIVATE THE TRANSFER PUMPS.
