Aircraft
Left engine; low fuel pressure light; turned on standby pump; engine quit. The auto feather worked as designed; I continued the approach; I had already been cleared to land. The landing was made without incident. After landing; each outboard fuel tank showed 300lbs of fuel; about 1 hour at normal cruise. Because I suspected fuel starvation; I had both outboard tanks topped off. The tanks had a 50 gal imbalance. With the tanks full a 250 pound difference was found. Both fuel gauges will be examined and repaired as necessary.
The reporter confirmed that the problem was fuel starvation due to fuel quantity indication malfunction.
The pilot of a King Air 90 reported the loss of engine power on approach. After landing and refueling; it was discovered that a fuel quantity indication error existed that had led to fuel starvation.
