Just a thought, have you considered using a small transfer pump instead?
It's not particularly quick, but one of those little 'clicker' Facet fuel
pumps works pretty good as a 12v transfer pump.  And it will do things like
pump from a permanently mounted tank that would be difficult otherwise.

BTW, 5 gallons of diesel fuel weighs less than 36 pounds.  Add 4 pounds for
a plastic can, and it's still only about 40 lbs.  It only seems like 50 :)
