I don't know for certain, but I think it's unlikely.

A student of mine recently bought a C172 and had it flown over from the US to the UK. The aircraft's tech log contains about a billion entries - entries for fitting long range tanks, for removing long range tanks, certifying the aircraft for overweight take-off, maintenance checks following an overweight flight, etc, etc, etc. I get a very definite impression that it's something which is only done for ferry flights when there is no other option. I would guess there is legislation which enforces this, but I'm afraid I don't know where that would be.
