    Abstract: An apparatus for vaporizing wherein a vaporizer is positioned within a water closet so that the normal water level substantially fills a portion of the vaporizer. Upon discharging water from the water closet, the water level in the vaporizer falls thereby allowing air to enter the vaporizer. As the water level returns to its normal level within the water closet, the air in the vaporizer is forced into communication with a vaporizable compound and exits the vaporizer through an outlet into the atmosphere.

    Abstract: An industrial fuel storage and self-blending tank comprising a container having a top, a bottom and sides forming an enclosed chamber with an outlet adjacent the container top through which gases may exit the chamber. A dip tube is mounted within the container extending from adjacent the container bottom to the container outlet. The dip tube has a lower opening in a lower portion thereof and an upper opening in an upper portion thereof providing fluid communications between the interior and exterior of the tube. A wick is mounted within the dip tube overlaying the upper opening. A valve is provided to control the flow of gases through the container outlet.A method is also disclosed for storing and self-blending a mixture of fuels of diverse specific gravities comprising the steps of partially filling a container with the fuels in their liquid state leaving a vapor space above the surface thereof, and sealing and storing the container thereby permitting the fuel of greater specific gravity to gravitate to the bottom of the container and the fuel of lesser specific gravity to rise thereabove to the surface. Liquid fuel of greaterspecific gravity is drawn from adjacent the bottom of the container upwardly into a wick disposed in the vapor space above the surface of the liquid fuel. Vapors of the fuel of lesser specific gravity evaporated from the surface of the liquid fuels into the vapor space are drawn out of the container through liquid fuel of greater specific gravity in the wick within the vapor space.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThis invention relates generally to means and methods for storing and self-blending fuels of diverse specific gravities.Some uses of industrial fuels require that two or more fuels be blended immediately prior to fuel consumption. For example, fuels used with flame-cutting torches today typically comprise propane or natural gas with which pentanes are blended to enhance torch flame characteristics. As additives such as these have specific gravities substantially in excess of that of the base fuels, they tend to settle to the bottom of their storage tanks. As a result the composition of the fuel at the fuel surface within the storage tank is mostly that of the base fuel. Thus, when stored within an enclosed tank for a period of time, the gases within the vapor chamber above the surface of the liquid fuel is largely only that of the less dense base fuel. Consequently, the fuels must be blended either during or immediately preceding the drawing off of these vapors for combustion in order to obtain a proper mixture at the torch.Heretofore, blenders have been devised for blending the natural gas or propane in its gaseous state with additives in their liquid state. One such blender is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,924,648 wherein the blender comprises an enclosed chamber in which liquid additive is disposed and means for percolating natural gas or propane up through the liquid additive to create a proper blend of vapors above the surface of the liquid additive which may then be drawn out of the blender to a torch. Another such blender is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,870,069 wherein passage of the base fuel in its gaseous state through the vapor space above the surface of liquid additive causes the additive to "boil" upwardly through and out of a dip tube in effecting a mixture. These blenders, of course, require that the base fuel be in a gaseous state, which in turn creates the need for substantially greater storage space. With some other devices both liquified base fuel and additive have been stored in a premixed state and blending effected by mechanical actions. These types of systems have, however, themselves required an energy supply for effecting the mechanical blending action, and thus have not proved to be efficient. In addition they have ordinarily left residual additive, in substantial quantities after the base fuel has been depleted. This has usually proven wasteful since reclamation is difficult and inefficient. The mixing of liquid additive to liquid base fuel has also caused many impurities carried by the base hydrocarbon fuel to solidify. When subsequently drained through the storage tank valve, they have degraded valve operation.Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide improved methods and means for storing and self-blending fuels of diverse specific gravities.More specifically, it is an object of the invention to provide means and methods for self-blending a liquified base fuel such as natural gas or propane with a liquified fuel additive having a specific gravity in excess of that of the base fuel.Another object of the invention is to provide means and methods for self-blending a liquified base fuel with a liquified fuel additive by which substantially all of the liquids are depleted leaving minimal residual as waste.Another object of the invention is to provide means and methods for storing and self-blending fuels of diverse specific gravities that are self-actuated and powered by the very act of drawing off fuel vapors from the storage tank for consumption.Yet another object of the invention is to provide means and methods of the type described which self-filter the fuels.Still another object of the invention is to provide means and methods for self-blending liquid fuels of diverse specific gravities of the type described which may be constructed and practiced with simplicity and economy.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn one form of the invention an industrial fuel storage and self-blending tank is provided comprising a container having a top, a bottom and sides forming an enclosed chamber with an outlet adjacent the chamber top to which gases may exit the chamber. A dip tube is mounted within the container extending from adjacent the container bottom to the container outlet. The dip tube has at least one lower opening in a lower portion thereof and at least one upper opening in an upper portion thereof providing fluid communications between the interior and exterior of the tube. A wick is mounted within the dip tube overlaying at least a portion of the upper opening. Valve means are provided for controlling the flow of gases through the container outlet.In another form of the invention a method is provided for storing and self-blending a mixture of fuels of diverse specific gravities comprising the steps of partially filling a container with the fuels in their liquid state leaving a vapor space above the surface thereof. The container is then sealed and stored thereby permitting the fuel of greater specific gravity to gravitate to the bottom of the container and the fuel of lesser specific gravity to rise thereabove to the surface. Liquid fuel of greater specific gravity is drawn from the bottom of the container upwardwardly into a wick disposing in the vapor space above the surface of the liquid fuel. Vapors of the fuel of lesser specific gravity evaporated from the surface of the liquid fuel are drawn out of the container through liquid fuel of greater specific gravity in the wick within the vapor space.

    Abstract: A receiving chamber is provided for receiving and enclosing a container of chemical such as an insecticide. While the container is in the chamber, a punch member perforates through the top and bottom of the container to permit the insecticide therein to transfer out from the bottom of the chamber to a main tank of water for mixing therewith. The resulting mixture is then passed to suitable spray apparatus for spraying the insecticide in agricultural operations. A plunger member coaxially surrounds the punch member and extends through the top of the chamber and can be lowered to crush the container after its contents have been emptied into the main water tank. In addition, the punch member includes an internal passage for passing flushing water into the container prior to crushing of the same so that it is cleaned out. The entire system is closed so that there is no risk of operators becoming contaminated by the insecticide chemical.
