The pilot was positioning the aircraft from Tauranga to Paraparaumu. Due to poor engine condition, the actual fuel consumption was considerably more than the figure used for planning. After 1 hour 40 minutes of flight, the engine lost power through fuel e xhaustion. The pilot attempted a forced landing but the aircraft collided with a fence short of the intended landing area. The poor condition of the engine was discovered during a bulk strip after the accident.
