Wasn't there a post about using battery power to return home? I remember someone saying the game has it that all you need to do is surface to recharge batteries. You don't have to be moving with your diesels to charge them. If that's the case you can get home without fuel. It would take awhile and is unrealistic but you could at least get back to start another patrol. That wouldn't help though if your engines are broken. I've never run out of fuel yet. I've always made it home except for being sunk. I usually run out of torpedos before fuel.
