THE ACFT HAD NOT BEEN FLOWN FOR SVRL YEARS & WAS ON A FLT TO FERRY IT TO ANOTHER LOCATION. WHILE CRUISING AT 7500', THE PLT DECIDED TO START USING AUX FUEL. SHORTLY AFTER MOVING THE FUEL SELECTORS TO THE AUX PSN, BOTH ENGS LOST POWER & WOULD NOT RESTART. THE PLT LANDED ON A ROAD, BUT THE WINGS STRUCK POSTS/MAILBOXES & THEN THE ACFT HIT A DIRT BANK. FUEL SAMPLES WERE TAKEN & A VISUAL EXAM REVEALED OBVIOUS CONTAMINATION & DISCOLORATION. THE ACFT HAD BEEN GIVEN AN ANNUAL INSPN JUST BEFORE THE FLT.
