Abstract
The valved container assembly comprises a container having a combined inlet/outlet incorporating an inlet valve, an outlet tube positionable over the inlet, the outlet tube incorporating an inline flow control valve and an end valve which stops flow through the tube when flow into a receptacle for fluid from the container reaches a height below overflow, the assembly allowing no vapor escape during filling or emptying of the container.
