An apparatus for safely slug feeding hazardous chemicals from conventional 55 gallon drums comprising a calibrated dip tube adapted to be moved in an up and down liquid-tight relationship through a first bung hole of the drum, a feed line adapted to remove liquid through the calibrated dip tube, check valve means adapted to prevent the flow of liquid into the drum, vacuum-producing means adapted to withdraw fluid from the drum through the dip tube, feed line, and check valve, and cleaning means adapted to be partially positioned within the drum through a second bung opening, said cleaning means including a spray nozzle positioned within the drum and air ventilation means outside of the drum, said spray means being adapted to receive a source of cleaning fluid under pressure. The dip tube may be fitted with a means for preventing its upward movement.
