AT ABOUT 200 FT THE ENG ABRUPTLY QUIT. THE PLT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENG BY SWITCHING TANKS & TURNING THE BOOST PUMP ON. THE ACFT WAS LANDED GEAR UP IN AN OPEN FIELD ADJACENT TO THE RWY. JUST PRIOR TO THE ENG FAILURE THE PLT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL PRESSURE WAS OFF THE GAUGE AT THE HIGH END. THE ENG DRIVEN FUEL PUMP APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH DIRT & TORN SEAL EMBEDDED IN THE VALVE BORE. THIS CONTAMINATION COULD CAUSE A STICKING OF THE VALVE WHICH WOULD PRODUCE ERRATIC FUEL FLOW.
