Also, early ATR 72 had several incidents including ATR 42 fuel gauges.

Right LDB mentioned this earlier in post #12:

"I just watched an episode of Mayday involving an ATR 72. Ran out of fuel over the ocean. An airframe tech put in the fuel gauge for a 42 so they thought they had 900 kg of fuel when they actually had zero."

It’s even worse than we expected:

Left seat flying pilot was a capitan, right seat was an instructor. Instead of selecting flaps 30, they feathered the props.

It is absurd they didn‘t immediately look at the prop levers when the first complaint of no power was made. As if having feathered props wasn’t at all possible. The levers are right next to the throttles they adjusted.
