Real stats on engine failures?

Know a bloke well with over 15'000 hours, he has had no engine failures.
He has had however 4 self inficted engine failures, these were fuel
system failures. Mostly failure to put enough in, failure to check
for water contamination properly, failure to know the aircraft fuel
system. This blokes expirence is all single engine, going from little
Lyc's to Radial's and turbine.

Most Iv'e come across in the last 25 years aviating have had no
problems, usually if there are it's a maintaince issue or operator
induced.
