Abstract: A system for manually dispensing liquid from bulk container assembly into a smaller container using a manually operated pump assembly comprising a bulk container for maintaining liquid being pumped from a sealed bulk container, a metering pump assembly having a fluid interconnection with the bulk container, a rack and pinion gear drive assembly for moving an interconnected handle between operating positions for filling and emptying a metering chamber with the accurate amount of the predetermined desired volume of fluid to be pumped. A nozzle is provided for emptying the metering chamber to a second container having a size comparable to the amount of desired liquid being pumped. A method for dispensing liquid from a bulk container to a smaller container is also provided.
