Narrative:

I departed hou on aug/sat/01 at XA27 en route to sat with 68 gallons of fuel in the auxiliary tanks and 26 gallons in the main tanks. I was cleared for the sat ILS approach runway 12R at approximately XB15 local time. ATIS was reporting 1300 ft overcast. I was in IMC. After intercepting the GS and as I lowered the gear, my left engine quit running. I immediately began my engine out procedures. Then my right engine quit running. I broke out of the overcast at approximately 1300 ft. I advised tower that I had both engines out and that I was landing off airport. I saw car headlights before me and I landed on the road. The landing took place with no damage to persons or property. I attempted to reach the tower on 121.5, but was unsuccessful. It appears that the fuel handles were not switched to auxiliary after takeoff in hou. A motorist stopped and loaned me a telephone. As I was attempting to call, the local police arrived. I obtained permission to add fuel to the main tanks, wait for daylight, get a clearance from tower and takeoff, which I did without incident.
