I just got a Great Planes Super Stearman for Christmas and the next day ordered a BCMA 26cc gasoline engine for it. This is my first gasser. Could anyone tell me where to get a gasoline fuel can and pump setup online? I can't seem to find a can or pump on the regular sites. Also any input on the BCMA 26--how does it perform? I read a lot of good things about BCMA engines and the service!!

I'm afraid I don't know anything about your engine though.

I will put in a third vote for Jersey as they are really nice setup. Also look into their refueling dots as they are a good purchase too. A little pricey when compared to standard dots but they do keep the fuel between the hoses and not on your hands. The Jersey also comes with a fuel tube that connects to the overflow and to the fueling container so that the overflow also stays off the ground.
If you look around at the circus and giant sites they run specials thru one of them every once and awhile. I picked mine up during one of their special offers.

Jersey Modeler is a good call, ask about the drawer thing, it's new. The gas can sits in it, it also holds starting glove, but I didn't put the fueler line back on tight the drawer thing caught the gas. I then just poured the gas out, rather that have it in the carpeting of my van.

The Hangar 9 hand crank pump works great, fills the 40oz tank in my sukhoi in a reasonable time.
I got a 10liter jerry can from a local auto spares store and using some du-bro and h9 filters.
got some nice fillers, fuel dots and tank fittings from troy built models.
