Narrative:
Departed hun 2000 pounds fuel, I figured a 1100 pounds burn. Its flight planned at 1:30 and burn of 1050. I also included 600 pounds for VFR fuel reserve and 300 pounds cont. We had headwinds and a change of flight route. We start the approach and circle to land in VFR conditions. After landing, we took the high speed off of runway 30 iad. To the parallel taxiway to W1 to T1 to the gate. The left engine shot down while taxiing. It indicated 300 pounds of fuel on that side. There were no low level warning lights that came on. During the taxi my right engine low level lights came on at 250 pounds and we shut down at the gate. My first officer dipped the tanks. No fuel could be measured. (Zero fuel both tanks.) indications, indicated we had at shut down 400-450 pounds maybe 500 pounds total left. Company irregularities were filed along with mechanical interruption report to FAA. Maintenance personnel advised me of a fuel situation on this air frame four different accounts. Log shows no open record, dmi's, or past problems that indicate a fuel indication problem. AC type bae-3100 super, tpe 331- 10 engines.
