i know he can't put diesel in...my boyfriend is a pilot... but if the tanks were full of jet fuel, even with the maximum range being 2100 miles, couldn't it be further?
Or am i going completely the wrong way? :-P

I think you are correct, max 2,100 miles..

Your correct...you can extend the range of any airplane by installing reseve tanks in the passenger/cargo compartment as long as you do not exceed the takeoff weight or the load balance......
I ferried planes a looooooong time ago and we routinely loaded reserve tanks in the passenger compartment.
Sounds as though our friend is trying for a long non-stop to somewhere rather than a flying bomb.......
The existing transponder can be set for any code or turned off.....
