A fluid dispensing container (5) having a generally rectangular and planar top wall (10), a pair of generally rectangular and coplanar opposed sidewalls (18), a front wall (22), and an opposed back wall (23), fastened to one another along their common edges. A generally rectangular and planar interior partition (30) is fastened to and sealed on the sidewalls (18), front wall (22), and rear wall (23) intermediate the first and second ends of each wall, respectively, to form sealed fluid container (5). Interior partition (30) is angled downward from rear wall (26) toward front wall (22). A fluid outlet opening (32) is defined in the second end of front wall (22) adjacent interior partition (30). A flexible hose (36) is fastened in sealed fluid communication with fluid outlet opening (32), hose (36) having a nozzle (40) fastened to its free end in sealed fluid communication. Nozzle (40) is adapted to be selectively opened and closed. A fluid inlet opening (46) is defined in the corner of fluid container (5) where top wall (10) and front wall (22) meet, and a fluid fill conduit (48) extends upward from fluid inlet opening (46) with respect to both top wall (10) and front wall (22). A cap assembly (50) is removably received on the other end of fluid fill conduit (48). Cap assembly (50) includes a vent (52) adapted to be selectively opened and closed for venting the interior of fluid container (5). Fluid container (5) also has a recessed channel (60) formed along the length of its front wall (22) for receiving hose (36). A pair of clamps (66) are mounted within recessed channel (60), for holding hose (36) within the channel.
