The 9,000-hour commercial pilot departed from an airstrip for a local aerial application flight. Shortly thereafter, the turbine powered airplane lost engine power and the pilot elected to execute a forced landing in a rice field. During the forced landing, the airplane received structural damage. The airplane had recently undergone maintenance services which included the resealing of the fuel tanks and the replacement of the fuel lines to the engine. A post-accident examination of the engine revealed that the rigid fuel line to the fuel controller (P-3 line) had separated, which resulted in the loss of engine power.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power due to a separated fuel line. A contributing factor was the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
