Appl. No.:

8/734931

Inventors:

Billy R. Pettis - Durham NC
Randy L. Vaughn - Coats NC

Assignee:

BASF Corporation - Olive NJ

International Classification:

B65D 8314

US Classification:

222134

Abstract:

A portable holding and mixing tank is provided with a valving assembly, the activation of which responsively enables substantial simultaneous flow of each dissimilar liquid contained within the respective holding compartments to a manifold assembly. The substantial simultaneous flow of each dissimilar liquid to the manifold assembly thereby minimizes (if not eliminates entirely) the possibility that incorrect mixing ratios of the dissimilar chemicals will occur. The manifold assembly mixes the liquids and discharges the mixed liquid through a meter to a transfer conduit. As such, the mixed liquids may be transferred to a storage tank (for example, a storage tank associated with agricultural spraying equipment).
