THE ACFT WAS DAMAGED DURING A FORCED LANDING IN A GRAPE VINEYARD. THE PLT STATED THAT A TTL LOSS OF PWR OCCURRED DURING AN APCH TO ERIE INT'L ARPT WHILE PASSING THROUGH 3200 FT MSL. THE PLT PERFORMED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AND WAS ABLE TO REGAIN PARTIAL PWR WHICH WAS INSUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN ALT. THE PLT REPORTED THAT THE LOSS OF PWR OCCURRED DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE ENG DRIVEN FUEL PUMP. HE CONTINUED TO STATE THAT A BLOCKAGE IN THE FUEL LINE PREVENTED THE AUX FUEL PUMP FROM OPERATING NORMALLY.
