Loose jerrycans would be a very bad idea because they can smash into
things, so they should always be lashed down. Refilling from jerrycans
underway depends a lot on where the fuel fill is located. From
experience I can say that refilling through a deck plate adjacent to
the cockpit is quite doable in all sorts of situations with minimal
spillage. It's not the best solution, but it can be workable.

A guy on one of the maillists I follow had a good idea. He uses a
length of plastic pipe threaded to match the filler cap. Whip the cap
off, attach the pipe, and you have an extension that let's you pour
from a comfortable height. With even minimal care the chance of a
spill is just about eliminated. But even better, an unexpected wave
that comes on deck doesn't dump salt water in your tank.
