WITH LOWER THAN EXPECTED FUEL GAUGE READINGS, THE PILOT DECIDED TO LAND AT NEOSHO TO CHECK THE FUEL QUANTITY. UNABLE TO ACTIVATE THE RUNWAY LIGHTS, THE PILOT WAS ON FINAL APPROACH TO LAND WITHOUT LIGHTS, WHEN HE IMPACTED POWER LINES AFTER LOSING TOTAL ENGINE POWER. THE AIRCRAFT PROCEEDED TO IMPACT TWO TREES AND A BARBED WIRE FENCE. FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND LESS THAN 1/2 QUART OF TOTAL FUEL IN THE FUEL SYSTEM AND TANKS.
