Narrative:

All normal procedures for operating the aircraft took place. Checklists were used for all procedures. Preflight inspection was properly done with no evidence of anything inoperative. Fuel and oil were checked and both were to their normal operating ranges. Flight was departed to the east and I opened my flight plan for my check ride with an official instructor. Approximately 25 mins into the training flight, the right engine lost power. With the aid of the instructor, we tried to troubleshoot the problem. Fuel pressure was at zero, and auxiliary pump was activated. Engine power was regained for 15-20 seconds and then quit. Notifying the ATC controller, an emergency was declared as the left engine also quit momentarily. The left engine sputtered once more before landing. Power was available during landing and the left engine was immediately shut down after touchdown. Loss of fuel is evident to the cause of incident. Further investigation is needed for verification.
