the loss of power in all engines due to the pilot's inadequate in-flight decision to continue flight with fuel level below the landing minimums specified in the flight manual, which resulted in the unporting of the fuel supply line and fuel starvation.  A contributing factor was the blocked fuel ejector pump in the aft fuel tank and an inadequate maintenance level on the helicopter's fuel system.
