Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for receiving and measuring a quantity of fluid from a filling device comprising a container having a substantially flat container bottom for resting on a horizontal surface. The container has a translucent sidewall with markings disposed on the sidewall enabling an operator to determine the quantity of fluid therein by viewing the fluid level in the container relative to the markings. A sealing valve is disposed proximate the container bottom and adapted to receive fluid from the filling device enabling the container to be filled to a desired fluid level from the fluid filling device. A dispensing orifice is in fluid communication with the interior of the container for dispensing fluid therefrom. The apparatus is suitable for metering and mixing different proportions of different fluids prior to dispensing from the dispensing orifice.
