We were being vectored for the ILS. The left tank was showing low; right tank had considerably more fuel; we decided to cross feed for the left Engine from the right fuel tank. After being on the localizer approaching final Approach fix the left Engine quit which caused the plane to roll to the left initially we recovered the aircraft. Tower saw we were off the localizer and wanted us to go back to Approach; we said we were unable; they insisted. At that point we felt the best decision for the safety of the aircraft; taking into consideration warm day density altitude; being in a light twin with not a ton of power to do a Single Engine climb was to continue straight to the runway because we had ground contact; broke out of the clouds and could see the airport.
