"it always does that!"
Hi Sunny,
Re the fuel gauges - On the 'L' and prior models, the fuel gauges are in the cluster of 6, top right hand panel, two outside gauges, upper row.
Easily visible to all.
Not sure about the 'M', but on the 'N', they are located down on the centre pedestal just above the 'Fuel Tank Select' lever, (near the floor) so may not be readily apparent to passengers not familiar with the layout.
Cheers

Can a Shadin replace the OEM fuel gauges?
Curious why not? Is it because they only have flow transducers and don't know the level in the tank without the operator setting the initial fuel level?

Depends on whether the STC says it can replace the OEM fuel gauges.
I'm aware of an aircraft that has an EDM700, with a fuel option, calibrated to 0.1 litre in 302. The STC for it says it does not replace the fuel gauges and the cockpit must be placarded: "Do not rely on fuel flow instrument to determine fuel levels in tanks".
