Analysis
The plt said he had been airborne for about 1.25 hrs when the eng began to cut out. Emerg procedures did not remedy the situation and an off arpt forced landing was necessary. The plt said he did not look in the fuel tanks prior to takeoff but relied on the fuel gauges. The fuel gauges showed one-half on the l tank and one-quarter on the r tank. The aircraft was examined after the acdt and no evidence of fuel was found.
