Dangerous goods advice- UK regs and ADR

For example, could I move a 3000l tank with 1000l in it.

Using the words “tank” or “package” the answer is: 'fraid not. It’s decided by the nominal capacity, rather than the amount actually in it. It’s academic in your case, but the maximum allowed size for an IBC is 3,000 litres. Without an ADR licence, you’ll still be caught by the 1,000 litre limit per vehicle though, because an IBC is counted as a package.

I always understood this to be the case i.e. capacity not contents but I couldn’t find that rule recently in the ADR books. You haven’t got a reference have you?
