Narrative:
Left engine failed due to fuel starvation. Was able to divert and land at ZZZ before the right engine failed. Upon further research; discovered that the FBO at bfi was not fueling the aircraft to the amount of requested and since the fuel gauges were not accurate; my fuel calculations were worthless.
Original NASA ASRS Text
