A Cessna 150L aircraft was conducting a day VFR flight from Earlton/Timiskaming Regional, ON (CYXR) to Marathon ON, (CYSP). During the flight, the pilot observed that only the left fuel tank was feeding the engine. The fuel gauges indicated that the left fuel tank quantity was decreasing, while the right fuel tank remained full. The aircraft fuel selector has two positions: ON or OFF. The pilot flew the aircraft with the left wing low for a period, in an attempt to obtain fuel from the right tank. As the aircraft was approaching CYSP, an engine power loss occurred. At approximately 1430 EDT, the pilot force landed the aircraft into a remote area approximately 9NM east of CYSP. RCAF search and rescue (SAR) aircraft and personnel were dispatched from Trenton. The aircraft was located having sustained substantial damage; the pilot received minor injuries.
