I don't know. I seem to recall reading many instances where U-Boats short of fuel for getting home got their tanks topped off by an out-going boat. Not just from the dedicated U-tankers which couldn't be everywhere. However, dispatching an oceanic tug for the Germans would be somewhat risky as they didn't control the airspace much beyond the shoreline. Odds are pretty good that the tug and the towed would be bounced by aircraft.
