The airplane stalled right before touchdown and landed hard, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage. The pilot reported that the airplane would not maintain altitude, so he focused on making a forced landing and did not use the emergency checklist (which included switching to another fuel tank) to restart the engine. About 20 minutes after switching back to the left main tank, the engine experienced a total loss of power. He departed with the left main fuel tank selected and switched to each of the other three tanks for about 30 minutes each before turning the selector back to the left main tank for the remainder of the flight. The private pilot topped off the airplane's four fuel tanks (20 gallons each, 18.5 of which was usable) before the estimated 2 hour 20 minute flight. Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
