A trigger operated fluild delivery system for dispensing two different fl uids is disclosed. The fluid delivery system includes a first container havi ng a first primary fluid, a fluid inlet conduit in fluid communication with the first container, and a pump for drawing the first fluid through the flui d inlet conduit and into a pump chamber (22). A fluid discharge conduit (32) is located downstream of the pump chamber (22). The fluid discharge conduit (32) is in fluid communication with the pump chamber (22) and a discharge o rifice (30). The pump discharges the first fluid from the pump chamber (22) into the fluid discharge conduit (32). The fluid delivery system also includ es a second container (42) having a second fluid (44), and means for deliver ing the second fluid (44) into the fluid discharge conduit (32). The second fluid (44) mixes with the first fluid when the first fluid is discharged int o the fluid discharge conduit (32) such that a mixture of the first fluid an d the second fluid is discharged through the discharge orifice (30).
