Analysis
During final apch the eng quit. The plt then attempted to land the acft on a road, during which, it collided with trees. Inspection of the acft revealed that the adjusting screw on the eng driven fuel pump backed out aprx 8 turns. Bench test of the pump revealed that the fuel flow from the outlet was higher than the limits specified by the manufacturer due to the counter-clockwise rotation of the screw. According to a FAA inspector the engine could possibly quit if the mixture control were placed in the full rich position as is the case during apch, due to excessive fuel.
