Depends.

Are you on yur outward trip or homeward? Are you forced to land on a platform to get gas? (Leave it at idle, bring it on line for the landing, expect the worst) or just heading for a VMC trip to a runway?

Use your noggin, tempered with the advice from the flite manual. Doing a word-perfect checklist and splashing into the sea isn't as good as maybe wrecking the engine and making it home safely.
