THE PILOT CALCULATED WHAT HE THOUGHT WOULD BE ADEQUATE FUEL FOR THE PROPOSED FLIGHT. HE DID NOT FUEL THE AIRPLANE PRIOR TO DEPARTURE. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS OF FLIGHT THE AIRPLANE SUSTAINED A TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE NOSE GEAR IMPACTED UPHILL TERRAIN DURING THE OFF-AIRPORT FORCED LANDING. POST ACCIDENT EXAMINATION OF THE AIRPLANE REVEALED ONLY UNUSABLE FUEL IN TANKS.
Probable Cause: the improper fuel calculations by the pilot-in-command. Factors were the pilot-in-command's not refueling and uphill terrain.
