Factual narrative
DURING AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH AND THE SUBSEQUENT MISSED APPROACH, BOTH ENGINES FAILED DUE TO FUEL STARVATION. IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT AS MUCH AS SIX GALLONS OF FUEL WAS CONTAINED IN THE AUXILLARY TANKS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT BUT THAT NONE WAS CONTAINED BETWEEN THE FUEL SELECTOR VALVES AND THE ENGINES.
