Yet another Cessna piston twin fuel selector valve problem.

Forced landings are more common than many think. In a lifetime of
flying light aircraft I've had four forced landings, one at night -
none due to fuel exhaustion. All flights landed without further
damage.

Most airplane pilots don't want to think about it but it happens. If
the landing is successful, the FAA/NTSB usually doesn't hear about it.

Mine we
1. Catastrophic in-flight engine self-disassembly.
(Cessna 195 over Death Valley)

2. Dzus cowl fasteners unzipped & fouled prop.
(Supercub over west Texas.)

3. Throttle linkage fell apart leaving engine at idle.
(Piper Turbo Arrow over the Continental Divide.)

Shouldn't the throttle gone to full? (as in, by default?) Just
wondering.
