Narrative:
[While] preparing for arrival; I made a precautionary forced landing approximately eight miles west of ZZZ due to engine sputter and lack of power.prior to landing; I transmitted 7700 and broadcast my intentions of a forced landing on CTAF. No injuries; damage to aircraft; or property were encountered during landing so I reset my transmitter to 1200 and made a call on CTAF that I was safely on the ground.suspecting fuel contamination; I purged both tanks of the remaining 10 gallons on board into a 5-gallon bucket and found a small amount of unknown debris. I subsequently refilled the tanks and confirmed full power to the engine before continuing on.
