AFTER LANDING AT UMATILLA, MUNI, AN UNATTENDED ARPT, THE PLT ASKED AN UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUAL TO FILL THE ACFT'S TANKS. THE INDIVIDUAL STATED THAT FUEL IS NOT SOLD TO TRANSIENT ACFT. THE PLT DEPARTED WITH THE FUEL TANK GAUGES INDICATING 1/4 EACH. WHEN IT WAS APRX 3 MILES FROM THE DESTINATION, AT AN ALT OF APRX 1,200 FEET, THE ENG QUIT. ATTEMPTS TO RESTART WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. DURING THE FORCED LNDG AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE ACFT BOUNCED, TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN, NOSED OVER & CAME TO REST INVERTED. THE PLT STATED THAT THE ENG QUIT DUE TO FUEL EXHAUSTION & THERE WAS NO ENG MALFUNCTION. ACCORDING TO THE ARPT OWNER, HAD HE BEEN AT THE ARPT WHEN THE PLT REQUESTED FUEL, HE WOULD HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE REQUEST. THE PLT DID NOT FILE AN ACC REPORT. PILOT FLIGHT EXPERIENCE IS UNKNOWN.
