The present disclosure is related to a transmission for a powered vehicle. The transmission includes a housing defining an interior of the transmission and a fluid supply portion disposed in the housing. The fluid supply portion is configured to supply fluid throughout the transmission. The transmission also includes a first fluid circuit disposed within the housing and defining a first fluid path in fluid communication with the fluid supply portion. A second fluid circuit fluidly defines a second fluid path in fluid communication with the fluid supply portion. The transmission further includes a coupling mechanism for fluidly coupling the first fluid circuit and second fluid circuit, wherein the second fluid circuit is disposed outside the housing of the transmission.

External lube system for a transmission

An apparatus for anaerobically treating waste to allow the waste to be safely disposed of and/or to reclaim useful gas therefrom. The apparatus includes a tank, a cylinder positioned within the tank to divide the tank into first and second areas, and media such as stones or the like positioned within the first and second areas of the tank for supporting anaerobic bacteria growth. Liquid waste is introduced into the first area of the tank over the media therein. As the waste flows through the media, the waste will be partially treated and methane gas or nitrogen gas will be formed or reclaimed therefrom. As more waste is introduced into the first area of the tank over the media therein, waste that has passed through the media in the first area will be forced upward through the media in the second area where it is further treated. Waste that has passed upwardly through the media in the second area of the tank is removed from the apparatus. The bottom edge of the cylinder is flared outwardly and downwardly to direct any gas formed when the waste passes through the media in the first area of the tank back upwardly through the media in the first area of the tank. After such gas passes upwardly through the media in the first area of the tank, it can be collected or it can be allowed to pass to the atmosphere.
