Years ago, when Ansett converted the Electra passenger fleet to freighters, the MZFW limit was increased by the expedient of having a minimum wing fuel quantity limit
A work around used by the RAAF on its Hercs many years ago also. Think it was when wing fatigue raised its head, but don't hold me to it, too long ago.
