Narrative:

The events leading up to the forced landing. After arriving at the airport for a cross country flight, we were informed that aircraft needed to be fueled. We then immediately called for fuel from the ground crew at the FBO. We were then told we would be third in line to receive fuel. After waiting 40 mins, I asked the line personnel if our aircraft had received fuel. I was told that the aircraft was topped off. My student then proceeded to the aircraft. I followed shortly thereafter. When I got to the aircraft I strained the tanks and we proceeded with our flight. The thought that we might not have received fuel never crossed my mind. After arriving at 33J we proceeded to perform touch and goes for about 1 hour. We then proceeded home practicing VOR tracking. We were cruising at 2000 ft when we started to lose power. I performed the appropriate emergency checklists, then landed. The aircraft was undamaged and both occupants uninjured.

Narrative: THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FORCED LNDG. AFTER ARRIVING AT THE ARPT FOR A XCOUNTRY FLT, WE WERE INFORMED THAT ACFT NEEDED TO BE FUELED. WE THEN IMMEDIATELY CALLED FOR FUEL FROM THE GND CREW AT THE FBO. WE WERE THEN TOLD WE WOULD BE THIRD IN LINE TO RECEIVE FUEL. AFTER WAITING 40 MINS, I ASKED THE LINE PERSONNEL IF OUR ACFT HAD RECEIVED FUEL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ACFT WAS TOPPED OFF. MY STUDENT THEN PROCEEDED TO THE ACFT. I FOLLOWED SHORTLY THEREAFTER. WHEN I GOT TO THE ACFT I STRAINED THE TANKS AND WE PROCEEDED WITH OUR FLT. THE THOUGHT THAT WE MIGHT NOT HAVE RECEIVED FUEL NEVER CROSSED MY MIND. AFTER ARRIVING AT 33J WE PROCEEDED TO PERFORM TOUCH AND GOES FOR ABOUT 1 HR. WE THEN PROCEEDED HOME PRACTICING VOR TRACKING. WE WERE CRUISING AT 2000 FT WHEN WE STARTED TO LOSE PWR.
