OFF ARPT EMER LNDG CREATED BY FUEL STARVATION.

Narrative

WHILE FLYING BACK FROM ELP I WAS FOCUSING ON MY NAV (AMOUNT OF DEV; GS; ETC DUE TO UPCOMING ATP CHKRIDE) AND TOTALLY FORGOT TO MANAGE MY FUEL. MY R FUEL CELL WAS COMPLETELY DRY. THE EMER CHKLIST CALLS FOR SWITCHING FUEL TANKS FIRST (TO PREVENT RUNNING THE FUEL PUMPS DRY) BUT MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS A BROKEN ENG FUEL PUMP. THIS ACFT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE MAINT SHOP DUE TO VIBRATION PROBS. MIXTURE AND FUEL FLOW GAUGE HAVE BEEN CHKED SEVERAL TIMES. THE PROB OF VIBRATION WAS NEVER COMPLETELY SOLVED. SO I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE WHAT CAUSED THE PROB (EARLIER VIBRATION) NOW CHANGED INTO AN ENG FAILURE. WHILE LEVELING OFF AT 8000 FT; I NOTICED THE LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE AND ASKED ATC FOR THE NEAREST ARPT (WHICH WAS ODESSA SCHLEMEYER) AND STARTED THE EMER CHKLIST AND PROBABLY DUE TO A WORN DETENT IN THE L FUEL TANK POS; I NEVER NOTICED THE DETENT. KNOWING I HAD ENOUGH FUEL I TOTALLY (20 GALLONS IN THE L FUEL CELL) FOCUSED ON MY 'ENG FAILURE.' KNOWING I WASN'T GOING TO MAKE ODESSA SCHLEMEYER; I CHOSE AN OFF-ARPT LNDG SITE; A LEASE-ROAD OF AN OIL FIELD WHERE I MADE A SUCCESSFUL EMER LNDG; ONLY DOING MINOR DAMAGE (SKIN) TO THE L WINGTIP DUE TO A PIPELINE MARKER. RELAYING POS AND CONDITION WAS DONE VIA A TWIN CESSNA WHO ASSISTED WHILE AIRBORNE. AUTHORITIES ARRIVED APPROX 30 MINS LATER AND RPTS WERE MADE. FAA INSPECTED THE ACFT AND ISSUED A FERRY PERMIT FOR THE BEECH BACK TO MAF. I ARRIVED THERE AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL FLT. (P.S. I ASKED ATC FOR DISTANCE BECAUSE I WAS FLYING INTO THE RISING SUN WHAT REDUCED MY FORWARD VISIBILITY.) CAUSE: DISTR -- WANTING TO FLY REAL PRECISE (AS ATP PLT TO BE) I LOST TRACK OF MY FUEL MGMNT. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: DISTR -- ENG NEVER 100 PERCENT AFTER TBO/NEW ENG SO FULL ATTN WAS GIVEN TO ENG; NOT FUEL SUPPLY. ACTIONS: NOT ACCORDING CHKLIST. FOLLOWING CHKLIST PROCS MAY HAVE SOLVED EVERYTHING BUT SINCE I NEVER DEALT WITH A REAL EMER I WENT TOO FAST ON SOME ITEMS (DID NOT PANIC; BUT WASN'T MR. COOL EITHER).
