I don’t have an actual answer, but I’d like to ask some clarifying questions.

By “fuel cargo” do you mean the just the 1000t tritium storage?

Or do you mean a stock FC with a full tritium storage and ~25,000t of fuel in its cargo?

Or both?

25000 t . yes
my idea is : i use my fleet carrier to go in deep space and explore a zone or a cadran of galaxy when i have finish i return the fc to not have the tritium grind to do
i can reduce the return cost by the exploration data to sell

i want to know how many LY i can do with a full tritium cargo ... the FC disposable

it take 1 week to get back money after im back at the human bubble i buy a new FC

Just keep in mind that extra modules will use some of that space. So, if you want to be able to sell the exploration data on your carrier, you wouldn't have 25,000t of cargo space on it.

The range starts to go down at ~23,000 tons used. The lowest max jump range is 480ly. Fuel use will be higher the heavier you are though.

According to the Fleet Carrier route calculator tool[spansh.co.uk], with 25.000 tons of tritium, no services installed (obviously), you would have enough Tritium to go to Sagittarius A* and back, with a bit of fuel to spare.

By the way, an easy way to calculate a rough estimate (very rough) is that a fully laden carrier will consume, on average, 0.5T/LY.

The max range on a fc is 500 ly. I am not sure if FC range is affected by mass.
