As far as I can tell, you should be able to do this (realistically) with a VIIC and VIIB, so you should be totally fine in a Type IX. Type VII boats operated in the Caribbean, and at least one VIIB I know of (U-84) was in the Gulf of Mexico before being sunk off the Eastern seaboard of the US on a subsequent patrol.
So far, 1939 and early 1940, while taking a IXB to Canadian and Eastern US waters, I have not needed to stop for fuel even once before making it back to my home port (Wilhelmshaven).
