Whole purpose of the small cone is to allow me to measure small volumes (less than 10 gallons) of products quickly and easily. The small cone uses vacuum from the venturi to suck products into it. I can use the graduations on the cone to meter how much product I need. (For example, say I need 3 gallons of LI700) I then switch some valves and suck the product out of the bottom of the cone and rinse it out.

I have two suction hoses with a valve on each coming out of the top of the cone, one for LI700 and one for crop oil (those are the two adjuvants I use the most and I get them in either 30 gallon drums or totes). I have a vacuum line coming from the venturi with a 3 way valve on it going into the top of the cone. If I turn the valve one way it supplies vacuum to the cone, if I turn it the other way it allows outside air into the cone so I can suck the product out the bottom when I'm done. I also have a valve for rinse water with a rise nozzle inside the cone.

Here is a video of the JD Skiles system, my setup functions exactly the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uh6WQ5Zoho
