Analysis
According to the student pilot the aircraft was fueled to maximum capacity prior to departure on a cross country flight. Approximately 3.2 hours later the engine quit and the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in a wooded area. Subsequent engine tests failed to reveal evidence to suggest that the engine fuel comsumption was abnormally high.
