Various container attachable pneumatic fluid dispensing apparatus (20), which includes a variety of differently configured container adapters (40); a latching coupler (50) for connecting the fluid dispensing apparatus to variously configured containers; a pressure relief valve (90-120) and also an orifice (236) limit the pneumatic dispensing force; a hand-controllable valve (230) along with cylindrical valve body (70) direct the pneumatic dispensing force into and out of a container (30); a fluid dispensing tube (190) co-axially and slidably attaches to the valve body and communicates with the fluid (31) of the container, with space between its exterior wall and the valve body interior wall to provide a passage for the pneumatic force to enter and exit the container. The dispensing tube has a release lever (210) for dispensing tube adjustment or removal; a filter (320) in pneumatic connector (370) filters the pneumatic dispensing force.

1. A method of pneumatically dispensing fluids comprising: (a) providing a pneumatic fluid dispensing apparatus, the apparatus including: (i) a tubular valve body with a closed end defining an interior chamber and a plurality of transverse apertures communicating between the interior chamber and valve body exterior;(ii) an adapter-coupler mounted to the valve body, the coupler having a central passage contiguous to the interior chamber of the valve body;(iii) a fluid dispensing tube extending axially through the closed end and the interior of said valve body and through said bore of said adapter-coupler and sized to extend to a container interior when the adapter-coupler is coupled to a container and sized to have a tube diameter that is less than a diameter of the coupler central passage and the chamber; and(iv) a valve member with an axial bore circumferentially disposed on the exterior of the tubular valve body and movable upwardly and downwardly between upper and lower positions;(b) providing a container of fluid having an opening, a cap, a top and a bottom, and removing the cap of said container of fluid;(c) attaching said adapter-coupler to the opening of said container of fluid;(d) adjusting said fluid dispensing tube to communicate near the bottom of said container of fluid;(e) connecting an air pressure supply to a radial gas passage in the valve member;(f) orienting said radial gas passage of said valve member over said transverse apertures of the valve body to cause pressurized air to enter the interior chamber and into said container of fluid, and displace said fluid in said container of fluid causing said fluid to flow through said fluid dispensing tube and out of said container of fluid; and(g) removing the valve member from over the apertures of the valve body to vent the interior chamber pressure and container pressure to stop the flow of fluid through the dispensing tube;(h) whereby a human can pneumatically dispense any one of a variety of fluids directly from any one of a plurality of sealed containers having any one of said variously configured openings while carrying and operating said pneumatic fluid dispensing apparatus connected to said sealed fluid container with one hand, henceforth allowing the other hand to be free to perform other tasks. 2. A pneumatic fluid dispensing apparatus, comprising: (a) a tubular valve body with a closed end defining an interior chamber and a plurality of transverse apertures communicating between the interior chamber and the valve body exterior;(b) a container coupling mounted to the valve body, the coupling having a central passage contiguous with the interior chamber of the valve body;(c) a central tube extending axially through the closed end and the interior of said valve body and through said bore of said container coupling and sized to extend to a container interior when the container coupling is coupled to a container and sized to have a tube diameter that is less than a diameter of the coupling central passage and the chamber;(d) a valve member with an axial bore circumferentially disposed on the exterior of the tubular valve body and movable upwardly and downwardly between upper and lower positions; and(e) a source of compressed gases coupled to a radial gas passage in the valve member;(f) wherein gas from the source of compressed gases is emitted through the gas passage of the valve member through the transverse apertures of the valve body to the interior chamber of the valve body, central passage of the container coupling and a coupled container interior when the valve member is oriented over the valve body apertures;(g) wherein gasses from the interior chamber and container interior are vented out of the valve body when the valve member is not oriented over the valve body apertures; and(h) wherein gas pressure in the container interior causes fluid in the container to flow through the interior of the central tube and venting stops the flow of fluid through the central tube. 3. The apparatus as recited in claim 2, further comprising at least one pressure relief valve operably coupled to the valve body configured to open when the gas pressure in the interior chamber of said valve body exceeds a predetermined level. 4. The apparatus as recited in claim 3, wherein at least one of said pressure relief valves opens at a chamber pressure that is less than the pressure of compressed gas entering the chamber from the gas passage of the valve member. 5. The apparatus as recited in claim 2, further comprising a spring configured to resist the movement of the valve member from the upper to lower position along the valve body. 6. The apparatus as recited in claim 2, wherein said tubular valve body and said container coupling are reversibly connected, said container coupling having a seat adapted to receive and seat an open end of the tubular valve body, said valve body further comprising a seal. 7. The apparatus as recited in claim 6, wherein said container coupler comprises: a container adaptor configured to reversibly engage an opening of a container; anda valve body coupler configured to seat the valve body and adapted to mount to the container adaptor. 8. The apparatus as recited in claim 2, further comprising a delivery hose mounted to the central tube, wherein fluid from a pressurized container interior flows through the central tube and out of the delivery hose. 9. The apparatus as recited in claim 2, wherein said tubular valve body further comprises: an end bushing with a central axial channel and at least one seal mounted to an end of the tubular valve body to define the interior chamber, the central tube axially disposed and sealed in the central axial channel;wherein the position of the central tube in relation to the tubular valve body can be adjusted upwardly or downwardly; andwherein an end of the central tube can be positioned into the liquid of a container. 10.
