Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT MADE A FORCED LANDING IN A SWAMP WITH THE GEAR DOWN AND NOSED OVER AFTER BOTH ENGINES QUIT. THE PILOT SAID THE ACFT WAS FULL OF FUEL AT TAKEOFF AND YET IT WAS EMPTY LESS THAN AN HOUR LATER. THE PILOT ALSO DID NOT KNOW THE QUANTITY OF FUEL ON BOARD THE ACFT IN GALLONS. HE SWITCHED TANKS SEVERAL TIMES IN ATTEMPTS TO START FIRST ONE AND THEN THE OTHER OF THE 2 ENGINES. AFTER THE CRASH BOTH ENGINES WERE ON THE LEFT TANK AND ALL TANKS AND LINES WERE DEVOID OF FUEL.
