Excrement is a product of both human and animal life. It is called various words - faeces, excrement, fecal matter, dung, poo and dirt. One popular vulgar
expression is the word: 'shit'. Animals don't seem to find excrement repulsive, and it is also very profitable to nature. However human beings find it abominable, so they want to get rid of it as quickly and effectively as possible.This aversion to excrement led to the invention of sewerage systems in ancient Rome, and in most civilized human settlements today, there is a sewerage system in use. Where a sewerage system cannot be provided, its funcion is supplied by gully-suckers. And this page is just about these vehicles. You can find here a couple of photos of all the common fecal tank cleaners, cruising the Czech roads and few of the foreign countries.

A fecal tank cleaner works as follows: the vehicle stands close to cesspool and the crew hauls a hose-pipe down, manually or - on newer vehicles - by a crane - into a tank. Then a pump is turned on. The pump is powered directly from the car´s engine (if based on car body) or by the cardan shaft of the tractor (if based on trailer). The pump sucks the air out off the cistern and the waste start to flow in. The principle is vacual. Filling of the cistern can be checked through a sight glass on the rear side. When the cesspool is empty, the hose-pipe is pulled out and the gully-sucker goes to the nearest field. The crew opens the pipe and the content of the cistern starts to spray out liquid manure to the farmland through the spout. Some vehicles are equipped by special sprayer for uniform diffusion of such fertilizer. Then cereals are planted into the ground and in the end, we are all provided with superior production of food crops.
