Abstract

An improved fluid proportioner. For improved fluid flow, a body is configured to direct a first fluid wherein at least one fluid gate housing is removably fixed to the body. A bearing pressurably is fitted within the at least one fluid gate housing to seal the first fluid within the body. A fluid gate is disposed within the body configured to gate the first fluid to alternating sides of a motor cylinder having a motor piston sealably disposed within. The motor piston has a cap attached at an end wherein the cap has a concave annular groove. A seal is surroundably disposed around the concave annular groove which radially extends beyond the cap to pressurably engage against the motor cylinder to reduce friction. A slave pump has a inlet valve and a outlet valve with an inlet raised base formed around an inlet orifice and an outlet raised base formed around an outlet orifice.
