In post #39 I stated the procedure we used on the L-1011 at TWA. I can't imagine has changed much at all for the LAX-HNL OR HNL-LAX tracks. One of our westbound crews (I was on layover in HNL to take the airplane back to LAX) had to shut down No.1 and pull the firepull to stop the leak. They were not too far west of the ETP so they headed for Hilo. Had they not followed company procedure and instead continued to HNL they would not have made it.
