Hello, I recently found a place that was selling auxiliary fuel kits for NATO style fuel cans. The kits come with a hose, adapter-lid and pickup tube with a screen.
Here's the adapter-lid. It has a small vent hole that is open to the atmosphere, so I'm not sure how this would do in a moist environment.
The pickup tube is just short enough that it won't suction itself to the bottom of a 5gal/20L can or the back of a 2.5gal/10L can. It has a brass screen on the bottom.
It came with roughly 5 feet of hose:
Unfortunately, this kit uses -4 sized fittings instead of the -5 used by the MEP 802/803, 002/003, 831, etc. My local hydraulic shop had an adapter fitting (2406-05-04) for a couple bucks:
Here's a picture of the pieces put together:
I got a pair of kits delivered for roughly $75 -- from our allies across the pond in England.
NOTE: Price depends on current USD to GBP exchange rate.

If the link above doesn't work, try searching for "LMS Lichfield LTD jerry can adapter with fuel pipe".
It includes everything except the fuel can and the -4 to -5 fitting.
