Question Effect of changes in CofG on Range ?

What are the effects of changes in centre of gravity on range for large jet aircraft, and why ?

I guess long fuselages lead to variable loading moments for pax and freight. Fuel tanks are located in various locations and may require transferring ? The variable incidence tailplane would assist would it not ?

Appreciate any comments and explanations.
