Greetings,

I was well into my second patrol off the Western approaches and a check with my Nav told me I had 9360kms duration at my present speed, which by trial and error on my boat is 7kts. Shortly after, about an hour, I had to dive to attack a convoy and when I surfaced an hour or so later my Nav told me I had 936kms duration! In addition my fuel indicator was at zero.

As I had insufficient fuel to get back to base, I had tried to run submerged and surfaced stationary to recharge batts, but on my 3rd or 4th surface I couldn't clear the carbon monoxide guage. I had to ditch the patrol and go back to a previous save where I noticed that my fuel was again at zero. Back to an even earlier save got me the same result.

I don'tknow what might be happening here. Any ideas? I did finish the patrol from an earlier save but lost a Southampton CL that I'd bagged.
