The pilot reported to the operator that the engine experienced a loss of power during the return leg of a cross-country flight. A forced landing was made on an open field. During the landing roll, the airplane collided with a fence. Inspection of the fuel tanks revealed that the left fuel tank was empty, and no fuel was produced when sumped. The right fuel tank contained approximately 1/8 of an inch of fuel, and produced approximately eight ounces of fuel when sumped. No fuel was added during the course of the cross-country flight.
