Boeing 757 hydraulic cooling

The 757 Maintenance Manual specifies a minimum of 600 USG/1800 kgs fuel in wing tanks to cool hydraulic fluid. This figure is quoted for maintenance checks of, or involving, the hydraulic system(s).

Is there a lower minimum operational quantity? I have often seen 757s arrive with a lot less than 1.8 tonnes in each wing.
