Analysis
The acft crashed during a forced landing after running out of fuel. The plt said he did not visually check the fuel prior to takeoff. After the accident the acft contained 2 gallons in each tank and had about an ounce of fuel in the carburetor which normally holds 10 ounces. The acft has 5 gallons of unusable fuel aboard. The plt recommended that the acft be visually checked for fuel rather than relying on fuel gauges.
