sounding much like they were saying:

They can still use them in europe , as long as the tank is 'empty'
when they hit the uk and the tank was part of the trailers original
construction then they can still bring the trailers fitted with them
into the uk , it still means they can run on cheap desiel here in
the uk

How, if the tank must be EMPTY when they arrive in the UK?

Most tractor units have one sometimes two or three tanks running at
around 1500ltr capacity , the belly tanks are on the trailer units ,

What many drivers do is uncouple the fuel line , its very rare that
the tank will actually ever be dipped if its not connected , even if it
is its unlikely that a procecution will take place unless it is full
takes them only a few minutes to reconnect the tank
