It's not legal. OK, you know that. And you probably know that the O-2's were ferried to VietNam, Okland to Hawaii, with big ferry tanks. They flew at reduced power settings, with big ferry tanks, but they flew with both engines. If I remember correctly, big ferry tanks don't require anything special, as long as you are less than 30% over gross. That would be an additional 1300# for your plane. The plane won't get off the ground with one engine at that weight. I think it would not maintain level flight at that weight on one engine.
If your plane has the aux tanks, you won't be able to feed the front engine aux to the rear engine.
Brian Von Herzon has crossed the Atlantic several times in his Super Skyrocket. He has flint wing tip tanks, which provide some additional fuel.
The longest stage, across the atlantic, assuming you are going over the northern route, is about 670 nm. You plane would be able to do that with out any difficulty, without ferry tanks.
MaryAnn, from Riley, said she had a customer with a Super take off from Goose bay with out one engine. Crossing went well, and he apparently flew for a while with only one engine. not to save fuel, only because the engine was broke.
What route are you going to fly?? Brazil to Africa?
