Dear Meikleour
If this thread clarifies anything at all about the matter, I am a transexual who worships Satan.
Now, back to the matter:
QRH lines regarding a bank angle are exclusively dedicated to the one-engine case (they refer to the "live" engine).
Exclusively is exclusively. Not a coincidence!
I mean: Imagine that you have a large fuel imbalance, and now the left side is too low on fuel because you diverted and had just the minimum legal on arrival and then suffered a subsequent delay, and you are now in a mayday fuel situation and then you open the crossfeed valve and bank the airplane to perform a "gravity fuel xfeed" to prevent the left engine from starving, and then… The right engine flames out because it is on gravity and that bank doesn't help with the X FEED open. Just imagine...
Could that happen? I don't know, personally!
But I know that the procedure is very clear that: FUEL XFEED….OFF
I would not open it and bank the airplane, thus totally inventing a new procedure.
What I would do is just to revise my minimum diversion fuel and then to decide if either to continue or divert so as to land with at least the revised final reserve.
