For less than 20$ I bought a kerosene siphon pump that is battery operated and fits in the top of aquatainers or Reliance jugs. Works for me.
It doesn't seal the opening though so you either pull it out or create some kind of cork around it.

I retired my one gallon "Langer Juice" Jugs that I bought at Costco because after a few years some of them developed a "petroleum" smell. I switched to one gallon GLASS jugs w/a handle because glass is less porous than plastic & keeps cleaner. I also use 1.75 Liter Crown Royal Whiskey glass "empty" bottles that have a handle. I only use about one gallon of water per day for cooking & cleaning.
 
When traveling, I place two glass jugs in the kitchen sink protected by foams pads or computer mouse pads. It is comforting to me to view very clear water enclosed in clear glass jugs. However, it is difficult to find clear glass jugs. You might have to use colored one liter wine glass jugs.
 
I do not use the "about" 40 gallon water reservoir provided in my FWC Grandby Popup Camper. I wish I did not choose this water reservoir & the propane heater. Instead, I would have rather used that empty space for a storage area for tire chains, boots, etc.   
 
However, glass jugs are prone to break & my suggestion will probably not work for you.
