Read the full NTSB narrative

A LOSS OF PWR OCCURRED WHILE CRUISING ABOVE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN. DURING FORCED LANDING THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE ACFT NOSED OVER. THE ENG HAD JUST BEEN REBUILT LESS THAN 37 HRS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT. THE PLT STATED THAT A WEEK PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT THE ENG CEASED OPERATING DURING A TAKEOFF RUN. THE PLT OMITTED THE FACT THAT AUTOMOTIVE FUEL WAS USED IN THIS ACFT. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THE FUEL DURING AN ENG EXAMINATION. NO MECHANICAL FAILURES/MALFUNCTIONS WERE DISCOVERED DURING THE EXAMINATION.
