sounding much like they were saying:

Not connor but the large foriegn artics with 2000 ltr tanks can
still pick up return loads and transport them around the uk on
thier way to the local ports

So why can't Large British Artics use 2,000 litre tanks, too?

because thiers a limit too the amount of fuel a british registered
lorry can carry , i think the limit is 1500 ltrs

Still waiting for any verifiable reference to this claim...

google is your freind , look under construction and use of
motorvehicles

, very few lorries have this
size tank as it impacts on maximium load weight when full ,The
carrying capacity of lorries varies throughout europe , our laws
are very restrictive

...but apply equally to all vehicles using UK roads, not just UK-
registered vehicles.

correct but wagons built outside the uk will comply with the laws of
the country its built for , it doesnt stop that vehicle comming to the
uk as long as it meets our weight and hieght restrictions , full
complience is only required if the vehicle is permantly imported to
the uk
