A couple of other products have some on the scene combined with life changes have made it where they are not available at a competitive price, but are available at higher quality/price and IMHO the best solution. I haven't received any negative feedback on the final design, but didn't get a ton of enthusiasm either. Something may change in the future.
I have set them up on Shapeways (very high quality) at no profit to myself.. The price is about $15 ea right now plus shipping, but will float up and down as the costs change. I just ordered one to triple check that everything is to spec and will update after receipt.

Having searched the forums it sounds like many of us have been down this path. I have 4 of the LCI / Scepter water cans that I purchased on Amazon and was completely amazed when I discovered that that the threads on the cap aren't hose thread (Or any normal thread). I purchased these to haul water and fill my RV up, but the length of the pour spout and angle of the fill on my trailer make life difficult so.... I fired up the CAD software. Since my initial search/design I have now discovered a couple of options on Amazon and eBay are now available, but I like my design better
I am now producing "Jerry Can to Hose Thread" (JC2HT) adapters in small quantities. The adapter is designed to be used with a hose gasket and are as short as possible in order to be left on the can as repeated install/removal is hard on the water can threads. I recommend purchasing a hose gasket and hose end cap for each of the adapters and removing the custom thread cap that comes with the jerry can. Although I do have the ability to make various length spouts at this time don't plan on it without someone proposing a special problem that a short hose won't solve.
If you are interested in a sample and providing feedback please PM me with your mailing address and I will send out a sample free of charge to about 10 people. Pending positive feedback, I plan to put them on Amazon for sale.
Thanks!
