THE ACFT CRASHED INTO AN EMBANKMENT SHORT OF RWY 36 AFTER A LOSS OF PWR ON FINAL APPROACH. THE PLT SAID HE WAS OPERATING ON THE RT TANK WHEN THE ENG QUIT. HE IMMEDIATELY AWITCHED TO THE LEFT TANK AND ACTIVATED THE BOOST PUMP. THE PROP HAD STOPPED AND THE ACFT WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A STARTER. THE PLT LATER SAID HE NOTICED A RISE IN FUEL PRESSURE BUT DUE TO LACK OF ROTATION THE ENG DID NOT START. THE POST ACC EXAM REVEALED 8 GALS OF FUEL IN THE LEFT ENG AND NONE IN THE RIGHT.
