What size is the opening?  Is it threaded in any way?  I suspect not,
but just in case, I'd look at drum spouts such as
https://www.mcmaster.com/drum-spouts

You might also look for a jerry can type of spout, where a lever
expands a rubber seal to secure the spout to the hole.  Something like
this: https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?t=196575  but I have no
idea where to start looking for a new one...or if it would fit your
application...

The opening is not threaded. There appears to be a metal crimp holding 
the plastic 'collapsible' piece to the metal lid. This same type of 
spout is used on 5 gallon pails of hydraulic fluid, paint, etc.

Ah yes, the conversion kit for the California-compliant plastic gas cans 
with the horrible vapor-trap nozzle, for those who actually want their 
gas cans to be red and don't want to buy a white finger-quotes 'water can'.

They're also widely available on the usual Internet sewers (Amazon, 
eBay) at varying prices.
