Narrative:

Assigned runway 17. Engine quit while on short final from fuel starvation and I decided to ask for and land on runway 14 in lieu of switching tanks as the runway was easily made. Tower approved and no action was taken by ATC. No conflict with other traffic. We left csb with 20 gallons in right tank and 6 gallons in left tank for lnk. Flight time was 1 hour and it was VFR. No fuel was available in csb. We landed with 0 gallons fuel in right tank and 9 gallons in left tank. The 210 does not xfeed and we flew the entire flight off the right tank. Normal use is 13 gph. I have the plane scheduled for maintenance to determine why the fuel crossfed to the left tank.
