the FBO employee improperly refueled the airplane with Jet A fuel instead of 100LL and the inadequate preflight by the pilot-in-command in that he failed to drain the fuel tanks during the preflight.  Factors related to the accident were the low altitude at which the loss of power took place and the rough terrain on which the forced landing was made.
