Narrative:ACCORDING TO THE OPERATOR, CYLINDERS HAD RECENTLY BEEN REPLACED ON THE ENG & PLTS HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO OPERATE THE ENG AT 75% POWER WITH THE MIXTURE RICHER THAN NORMAL DURING A BREAK-IN PERIOD. ON THIS FLT, THE PLT TOOK OFF WITH A FULL LOAD OF FUEL. AS HE APCHD THE VICINITY OF ATHENS, GA, HE INFORMED ARTCC THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO DIVERT DUE TO LOW FUEL; HOWEVER, THE CLOSEST airport WAS BELOW MINS. THE NEXT CLOSEST airport WAS HIS DESTINATION. WHILE BEING VECTORED FOR AN ILS APCH, THE ENG LOST POWER DUE TO FUEL EXHAUSTION. DURING A FORCED LANDING, THE ACFT HIT TREES, THEN CRASHED TO THE GROUND.
