When i arrive there i almost have an empty tank...is it possible and yes i tried it in gameplay settings to turn it of the decrease the realism a little like unlimited fuel and stuff? like i said i tried to deactivate it but somehow it wont work ingame ..i still lose fuel when i drive with my Sub.

Several on-line sources (

at 10 knots. As with any vessel, cruising speed
is not top speed, and most efficient cruising speed is not necessarily the optimum speed for transiting the patrol area. You have to watch your fuel consumption (as RL skippers did) and make your own trade-offs between range and time off station (as RL skippers did). The function "Report range at current speed" (SHIFT-G) will get that information from your navigator, and is useful in avoiding those embarrassing "Out of gas" situations.
Pearl to the Home Islands was a long sail. If you are based out of Pearl, it's a good idea to make a gas stop at Midway and top up the tanks, both outbound and returning. This will buy you another 2500 nm of operating range, an additional 10%.
