Do Elco boats run out of petrol?

I ask this cos I'm an idiot. I've been playing this game long enough to know that you dont go through the channel but... I went through the channel.
Brand new career and the patrol started Sep 1st at midday. Without doing any speed/distance calculations I figured I'd have plenty of time to get through der kanal before the curtain went up. At ahead full I got as far as Brighton. I haven't been harrassed by anything that can depth charge me yet but theres a pesky little torpedo boat following me everywhere. I swear he must have asdic. And his machinegun fire is a bit too accurate for my liking.
This shortcut is taking longer than a trip around the Hebrides!!!
