THE PILOT ESTIMATED THERE WAS ABOUT 10 GALLONS OF FUEL ON BOARD BEFORE HE TOOK OFF. AFTER MAKING THREE TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS, HE PICKED UP A PASSENGER AND FLEW IN THE LOCAL AREA. AFTER FLYING ABOUT ONE HOUR AND 17 MINUTES, THE ENGINE LOST POWER. WHILE LANDING IN AN ALFALFA FIELD, THE NOSE GEAR FAILED, THE PLANE BOUNCED, AND THEN IT NOSED OVER AFTER TOUCHING DOWN AGAIN. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL AND NO FUEL WAS FOUND IN THE WING TANKS.
