Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT RENTED THE ACFT WITHOUT VERIFYING THE ACTUAL FUEL ONBOARD. HE THEN FLEW TO HIS PVT STRIP, 26 NM AWAY, AND GAVE 'SEVERAL' PAX HOPS. ABOUT 5 MINS AFTER TAKEOFF FOR THE FLT TO RETURN THE ACFT TO THE OWNER'S FIELD, THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND QUIT. THE PLT FLEW THROUGH A FENCE TO SLOW THE ACFT AND STRUCK A DITCH DURING LANDING ROLLOUT. THREE AND ONE HALF GALLONS OF FUEL WERE DRAINED FROM THE LEFT WING. THE RIGHT WING TANK WAS FOUND EMPTY. THE OWNER OF THE ACFT HAD INSTRUCTED LINE PERSONNEL TO FILL ONLY THE LEFT TANK PRIOR TO THIS FLT.
