I am guessing that the Polarn pump uses a cap that seals and clips to the
top of the jerry can.
Ron Swinden (sadly no longer with us) made a filling system for 20l steel
cans which works on the same principle.
You need a spare filler cap and an airbed inflating pump. Basically as long
as you can seal the can and pressurise it (doesn't require much pressure) a
hose that reaches to the bottom will empty the can once pressure is applied.
So two connections - one which takes fuel from the bottom of the can and one
which enables you to pressurise the sealed air above the fuel level.
I'm guessing that with a plastic fuel can it would be possible to make a
rubber or plastic bung which seals the top of the container.
You might want to consider this if there is nothing specifically designed
for your cans.
