One time on a 54 day trip on a VIIB was 130 km out from St. Nazaire and got the message from the CE , "We're out of diesel fuel sir!". When I consulted the navigator I still had enough fuel for a a little less than 1000km; the gauge was nearly touching the bottom when I finally coasted into port but made still made it. Looks like you had maybe only 25 or 50 lbs of fuel left when you finally made it home.
