Jerry Can Filler Advice

I use 5 gallon Wavian Jerry cans but my Colorado has double doors in the filler neck requiring the extra long self sealing adapter to be used on the Jerry can. I'm not sure what it's like with the standard adapter but the one I have to use takes forever to dump 5 gallons into the truck and all that plastic makes me nervous that I'm going to crack something unless I hold the can perfectly straight. Are there any non-CA compliant solutions out there to speed things up? I was thinking of just using a shaker siphon hose with a piece of PVC to get through the double filler doors and siphon from the can to the truck but I am hoping there's a better way.

Thanks

I like my funnel made from an old 1 gal. gas can, with the old style filler spout. I just cut the bottom off of it.
Insert spout and pour from gas can into the funnel.

The plastic filler on my Wavian did crack, very annoying. I went to this and haven't looked back.

That looks great but the end of the tapered nozzle isn't long enough to open the double doors in my filler neck.

I may be able to add an extension that would help!
The red and green have smaller spouts so maybe they would go in further.

So far I modded my shaker hose to work. And ordered one of these with the idea of adding some kind of extension to get through the the double doors:
