The flight originated at Austin, Texas, at 1125 with two en route stops. Fuel was not purchased during any portion of the flight. During the return route to Austin, Texas, there was a total loss of engine power. A forced landing was made in an open field with soft soil, but the airplane nosed over. An FAA inspector reported 'evidence of a residual amount of fuel in the wings, fuel filter, and at the carburetor.' The FAA inspector and the owner/operator found no mechanical discrepancies that would have contributed to a power loss.
Probable Cause: The pilot's improper planning/decision, which resulted in fuel exhaustion, due to an inadequate supply of fuel. A factor relating to the accident was: the lack of suitable terrain for the forced landing.
