The only time I ran out of fuel was due to recharging the batteries the whole trip back to base (or not making base). What happens is during a depth charging attack my batteries were damaged. Well, even tough it says the batteries were repaired they really were not. The batteries would only take a 98% charge. but the sub will run the diesels extra hard trying to recharge them to 100%. What you must do is go to the command room and manually turn off the "recharge batteries" icon. You must turn off this icon each time you surface on the way back. A real pain in the "stern".
I would have never figured it out, but luckily read about it on this forum.
Good hunting
