With fuel economising, you basically should not run out of fuel. there are recent threads explaining this.

But, I see the point. Say you have a great patrol, but get a smidge hurt in the process. You bleed fuel, and basically run out due to a leak. Now given enough time to radio for help, some sub-tender ship should be able to intercept your course and top off your fuel supply. Any ship should suffice as long as it got a fuel-hose and some diesel to spare. Especially if you are within say 20-400km of any friendly port. Beats swimming. And I'd think it would be prudent for ComSubPac to rescue both ship and crew in such vicinity to friendly ports.
