You really don't want to be using a potable water can as a condenser can for a Vickers - there's enough contamination inside the barrel water jacket to make the tea taste disgusting. (So I'm told, at least.)
A MMG is not a suitable tea-making appliance - using a mess tin and plastic explosive[1] is faster and a lot quieter. Chris. (Has only ever used hexi blocks or a Primus.)  [1] strip the paper wrapping off, roll it out into a pencil-thick sausage and arrange in a spiral on a metal sheet with a bit projecting over the edge. Light the end and follow the flame with the water-filled mess tin. Silent and it even works in the jungle when everything is soaking wet.

Very nice picture Michael R . Interoperability before it’s time and a proper «*petrol can «* postwar holding water and condensing steam for the MMG.

Looking closely at the photo in post #133 I think that the petrol can does not have two filling points but one where the hose goes in and the cap has been placed on top on the opposite corner. Got me going though !
