Gas Fitting for Syrup Can

A fellow was selling 2.5 gallon Taylor 20577 syrup cans.  While the out fitting accepted a ball fitting the gas in fitting was funky.  It was a female boss with approximately 1/4 npt threads.  Has anyone come across these type of fittings and can they be adapted to use the white gas in fittings?
