The pilot of the tailwheel-equipped airplane reported that, during the return to the departure airport following a local flight, the engine lost all power. Subsequently, he conducted a forced landing on a dirt road, during which the propeller struck the ground, and the airplane then nosed over.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right-wing lift strut.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
A Federal Aviation Administration inspector reported that only 1 gallon of fuel was recovered from both wing tanks.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper fuel planning, which resulted in fuel exhaustion and a subsequent total loss of engine power.
