Will the black boxes CVR reveal a low fuel enunciation?

That presumes CVR and FDR properly hooked up, maintained, powered, operating.

Not something I automatically presume in this instance, given some apparent corner-cutting, questions whether batteries were adequately serviced, etc.

Where's the profit (for LAMIA) in properly inspecting, maintaining CVR and FDR?

Perhaps more of a risk (if had to make emerg landing, and a regulator then checked FDR-CVR and found they knowingly made trip without adequate reserves, and perhaps had done so before - the FDR might show that, if it contained record of past flights).
