Abstract
A container for holding and dispensing fluids used in vehicles includes spaced-apart front and back walls; spaced-apart left and right side walls; and spaced-apart top and bottom walls; the front and back walls, left and right side walls, and top and bottom walls together defining an enclosed fluid-containing inner chamber. Two sets of through walls are molded between the front wall and the back wall of the container to define a pair of aligned, circular-shaped, horizontally-extending through-holes between the front wall and the back wall of the container.

A container for holding and dispensing fluids used in vehicles, the container comprising:
- spaced-apart front and back walls;
- spaced-apart left and right side walls;
- spaced-apart top and bottom walls,
- the front and back walls, left and right side walls, and top and bottom walls together defining an enclosed fluid-containing inner chamber;
- a top fill opening in the top wall for introducing fluids into the inner chamber:
- and
- through walls molded between the front wall and the back wall that define a central, horizontally-extending through-hole between the front wall and the back wall, the through-hole being ⅛-¼ as wide as the container and approximately ¼ as tall as the container, the through-hole having a height in a direction extending between the top wall and the bottom wall and a width in a direction extending between the left side wall and the right side wall, the width being greater than the height;
- the through-hole centered between the left side wall and the right side wall and centered between the top wall and the bottom wall.
A container for holding and dispensing fluids used in vehicles, the container comprising:
- spaced-apart front and back walls;
- spaced-apart left and right side walls;
- spaced-apart top and bottom walls,
- the front and back walls, left and right side walls, and top and bottom walls together defining an enclosed fluid-containing inner chamber;
- a top fill opening in the top wall for introducing fluids into the inner chamber;
- a front fill opening along the front wall for introducing fluids into the inner chamber, the front fill opening being angled with respect to the front wall;
- a lower recess configured to receive a protrusion of a front fill opening of another container when the container is stacked on the other container;
