THE ACFT MADE A FORCED LANDING OFF ARPT AFTER THE ENGINE QUIT. THE WEATHER WAS VMC AND NO FLT PLAN WAS FILED. THIS WAS ACROSS-COUNTRY FLT FROM LOS ANGELES, CA TO BOLIVAR, MO WITH A FUEL STOP AT GAGE, OK. THE FLT CRASHED 900 FT SHORT OF THE RWY AT GAGE, OK. POSTCRASH INVESTIGATION BY THE ARPT MANAGER REVEALED AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANKS. AN ON SCENE INVESTIGATION BY A CONTINENTAL REPRESENTATIVE REVEALED NO FUEL IN THE SPIDER VALVE AND NO DRAINABLE FUEL IN ANY OF THE FUEL LINES. THE ARPT MANAGER VISUALLY CHECKED THE COCKPIT FUEL GAUGES FINDING THE LEFT TANK INDICATING EMPTY AND THE RIGHT 1/8 FULL. THE ACFT HAD FLOWN ABOUT 5 HOURS AND 24 MINUTES WHICH WOULD INDICATE FUEL CONSUMPTION OF ABOUT 138 GALLONS OF FUEL. THE ACFT HOLDS 142 GALLONS OF FUEL, OF WHICH 136 IS CONSIDERED USEABLE.
