The student pilot had flown a cross-country flight, landed, and refueled. He continued the cross-country flight with an en route landing, taxi back, and takeoff at another field. Following that landing and takeoff, he continued to an intermediate destination, where the engine was shut down for about 40 minutes. Afterwards, he continued to his home airport. About five miles from the home airport, the engine quit operating. The student landed in a rough field, and the airplane nosed over during the forced landing roll. Postaccident calculations indicated there should have been sufficient fuel to complete the flight. The owner reported that when the airplane was retrieved, a large blue fuel stain was present on the top of the left wing, and about one gallon of fuel was drained from the airplane.
Probable Cause: a loose fuel capd and siphoning of fuel, resulting in fuel exhaustion and a loss of engine power. A factor was the rough terrain in the forced landing field that resulted in the nose over during the landing roll.
