According to the pilot, the engine lost power and the airplane was not able to maintain altitude. When efforts by the pilot to maintain altitude failed, the pilot selected an emergency landing area. The airplane was damaged during a forced landing in a wooded area two miles short of the runway. Examination of the wreckage revealed that the fuel line fitting was loose. The fuel line was observed to be loose but still attached. No fuel was present in the right fuel tank, and fuel was recovered from the left fuel tank. No fuel was found in the gascolator. However, fuel was found leaking from the engine compartment after the accident.
Probable Cause: Maintenance personnel's failure to secure the fitting on a fuel line, which resulted in a loss of engine power.
