stupid q of the day - spout for 5gal race gas can?

decided to try something more than 100, but i can not find a spout for this 5gal can... it's killing me just watching it sit there full!

any links to something on line? a gigantic funnel would also work. i can't find anything locally that does the job.

I bought a spout that attaches to the end of a fuel station filler hose so it fits
directly into the gas tank just like at gas station. I duct taped a plastic funnel to this spout and it works beautiful. We have a store called Northern Equipment here in the midwest where you buy this stuff.

VPRacing.com has a pump that I use. It cost around 50 and works great. i can drain a 5 gallon can in three minutes.

I normally pump from a 55 and my hose looks exactly like when you pull into a gas station but I also have to drain 5's occasionally.

Good luck,

EMR is on a distinguished road
I've never seen a nozzle for the 5 gal race fuel jug, we always used the monster funnel with the metal screen inside for our race cars.

I like this one because it pumps fast and no fumes in your face:
