FUEL EXHAUSTION OCCURRED ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER DEPARTURE. ONLY A COUPLE OF OUNCES OF FUEL WAS FOUND ABOARD THE ACFT AND NO FUEL STAINS OR LEAKS WERE NOTED AFTER THE ACCIDENT. ACCORDING TO THE PLT, THE FUEL GAGES INDICATED THAT THERE WAS APRX 50 GAL ON EACH SIDE JUST BEFORE THE ENGS STARTED SURGING & LOSING POWER.
