Zusammenfassung:A fluid delivery system includes a source of an injection fluid including a source outlet. The system also includes a control system including a control system inlet in fluid connection with the source outlet, a control system outlet and, alternatively, an actuator. The control system is adapted to deliver a predetermined amount of fluid via the control system outlet upon activation of the actuator or modification of the control system. In several embodiments, the injection fluid in the source is pressurized. The source can, for example, include a plunger slidably disposed therein and a force application mechanism to place force upon the plunger and pressurize the fluid within the source. The control system can further include a metering volume in fluid connection with a valve system. The metering volume can include a plunger slidably disposed therein.
