The airplane was on a positioning flight to Houston-William P. Hobby Airport, TX (HOU) and had two passengers along for the ride. The airplane was on base leg when the left engine sputtered. The pilot turned on the secondary boost pump and the engine operated normally until both engines flamed out. During the forced landing in a residential area, the airplane hit a power line, trees, a house, a fireplug, a tree and a van, then another house. There was no smell of fuel in the entire area, and no usable fuel in the fuel system.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The inadequate preflight planning preparation and the improper inflight planning/decision by the pic when he failed to refuel the aircraft which resulted in a total loss of power in both engines."
