They do make a rather large fuel tank which adapts to small single engine aircraft for such long voyages.

It is sometimes attached to the belly of the aircraft and gives it an astounding range on the order of 20,000 miles


here is a pic of it. Pretty impressive. though it is quite cost prohibitive I've heard.

On the other hand, even if you could what would be the point? I think I read somewhere that some guy did it a long time ago.

I forget his name.

On the other other hand I might have read it on Wiki, so I'm told it doesn't count.
