If you were a really good helicopter pilot and planned well, you might be
able to follow one of the shipping lanes with a diesen powered helicopter
and bargain diesel from the ships crew - if you can find a ship spaced
ever few hundred miles.

You would need to find a large enough ship to land on, but small enough to
be burning a diesel that you could burn. That would make things even more
challenging.

Most of the large ships burn "bunker oil" even though they have what are
called diesel powered. For those who do not oil, bunker oil is only one
step above crude oil, and has to be heated to be burned in those huge ship
engines.
