1. An apparatus for filling a syringe with fluid, said apparatus comprising: a fluid container having a container opening;a housing;a fluid reservoir located within said housing, said fluid reservoir comprising a post extending therein to be received by said container opening;said fluid reservoir having a reservoir opening arranged to directly and matingly receive said container opening in a fluid tight manner;said housing further comprising a port comprising an opening in fluid communication with said reservoir, said port being arranged to directly matingly receive said syringe in a fluid tight manner; andsealing means comprising a plug located within said opening of said port for sealing said port, said sealing means selectively allowing fluid to flow from said reservoir to said syringe, said plug capable of moving from a first normally biased, non-mated position within said opening of said port to a second mated position when said syringe and said port are directly mated with one another, said plug preventing fluid from flowing out of said port in said first non-mated position, said sealing means allowing fluid to pass through said port in said second mated position;means for indicating a predetermined fluid level within said reservoir; andmeans for determining the fluid level within said reservoir, said means for determining the fluid level located at least substantially within said reservoir;whereby said plug being capable of moving back to said first non-mated position when said syringe removed from said port. 2. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said indicating means comprises a visual indicator, said indicator being illuminated when said predetermined fluid level is reached. 3. An apparatus for filling a syringe with fluid from a container having an opening, said apparatus comprising: a housing;a fluid reservoir located within said housing, said reservoir comprising an opening for receiving said opening of said container;a port in fluid communication with said reservoir, said port being arranged to threadingly and directly mate with said syringe;sealing means comprising a plug located within said port for sealing said port, said plug selectively allowing fluid to flow from said reservoir to said syringe;means for indicating a predetermined fluid level within said reservoir;means for determining the fluid level within said reservoir, said means for determining the fluid level located at least substantially within said reservoir; andmeans for heating said fluid in said reservoir to a predetermined temperature. 4. The apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising a power source connected to said indicating means. 5. The apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising an electrical circuit connected to said power source and said indicating means. 6. The apparatus according to claim 3, further comprising means for normally biasing said sealing means against said port. 7. The apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising: means for heating the fluid within the reservoir to a predetermined temperature. 8. The apparatus according to claim 7 further comprising means for indicating when said fluid is heated to a predetermined temperature.
