ENGINE QUIT, PILOT SAW OPEN FIELD AND HEADED TO IT, UPON LANDING NOSED INTO A TREE. (.4)THE AIRPLANE WAS DESCENDING FOR A LANDING WHEN THE ENGINE SUFFERED A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER.  THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD NO MEMORY OF THE ACCIDENT.  ALTHOUGH PERSONNEL WHO MOVED THE AIRPLANE CLAIMED THAT 15 OR 16 GALLONS OF FUEL WERE REMOVED FROM THE ACCIDENT AIRPLANE AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE, ONLY ABOUT SIX GALLONS COULD BE LOCATED.  THE ENGINE WAS TEST RUN SUCCESSFULLY WITH NO ANOMALIES NOTED.  THE AIRPLANE FLIGHT MANUAL INDICATES THAT AS MUCH AS 10 GALLONS OF UNUSABLE FUEL MIGHT BE EXPECTED IN OTHER THAN LEVEL FLIGHT.
