Analysis
The plt had experienced an eng failure due to fuel exhaustion & had safely executed a forced landing on a 1,100 ft road in front of condominiums. After having fuel brought from a local arpt, he attempted a takeoff. After lift-off, at an altitude of about 6 ft, the acft & wheels contacted shrubs & bushes causing the acft to decelerate & collide with a fence. The plt stated that because the 'press' was present, he did not limit the refueling of the acft & added 120 lbs of fuel. He also attempted the takeoff with the passenger on board.
