Abstract
An aerating system for faecal matter collected in a container in a vehicle which includes a pressurized air system for operating brakes, doors, ventilation flaps and the like. The pressurized air system includes a tank and a compressor which operates continuously during operation of the vehicle engine and a regulator which exhausts excess air to a bypass duct when the tank is at its operating pressure. A tube connects the container to the bypass duct so that faecal matter in the container is substantially continuously aerated during vehicle engine operation.
