By the sounds of it he didn't shoot so I doubt it was the fuel bunker if not.
I've had this happen to me. I was all set to raise periscope on an approaching contact when I suddenly noticed a destroyed ship icon in a different hue than a regular one where my last contact with the ship was.
It was either a mine that got him, possibly aircraft (although never seen Axis aircraft in game), or just really bad weather.
