Abstract
A supply tank having a plurality of dip tubes extending therein is provided. One dip tube is provided for each storage tank that is to be filled by the supply tank. The dip tubes are of different lengths, and their lengths are related to the amount of syrup each dip tube is to deliver. A source of compressed gas communicates with the tank to force the syrup in the tank up the desired dip tube and into the delivery line connected to the onsite syrup storage tank. When the level of syrup in the tank falls below the end of the dip tube through which delivery is being made, the flow of fluid therethrough stops, and the compressed gas forces all of the syrup in the delivery line into the storage tank. By controlling the length of the dip tubes the amount of syrup delivered can be controlled.
