THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE DEPARTED CHALLIS, IDAHO, SEVERAL DAYS EARLIER WITH 54 GALLONS OF USABLE FUEL, AND FLEW APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR ON THE RIGHT TANK TO A REMOTE MOUNTAIN AIRSTRIP. HE THEN RETURNED TO CHALLIS, STATING THAT HE FLEW THE FIRST 45 MINUTES OF THE RETURN FLIGHT ON THE LEFT TANK BEFORE SWITCHING BACK TO THE RIGHT. THE ENGINE CEASED OPERATING ON FINAL APPROACH, AND THE PILOT EXECUTED A FORCED LANDING IMPACTING A DIRT BANK IN HIS GROUND ROLL PATH. POSTCRASH EXAMINATION OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED NO DISCREPANCIES WITH THE AIRFRAME FUEL SYSTEM AND 2.75 GALLONS OF UNUSABLE FUEL IN THE RIGHT TANK. THE ENGINE WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TEST RUN AND NO DISCREPANCIES WERE NOTED.
