I've been using manual fuel pumps with replaceable fuel filters for many years on the farm. They are available with suction lines that fit in drums, pickup tanks and in up to 500 gal tanks. Just go to any farm supply store and ask.

Can you be a bit more specific? I am not familiar with these and I really not sure how to ask some kid at a store like that. We have tractor supply here will that do?

This coffee filter idea is interesting. Almost everyone has coffee filters.

How about a coffee filter zip tied to the output end of the hose? Leave room in the filter, don't stretch it tight across the hose end.

I can not think of a way to force fuel through a filter without pressurizing it. I would look at installing a hand crank pump to the 30 gallon tank. Not sure if you can get one with a filter system or not. If not you could put a filter in after the pump and add a valve after the filter. That way when you are full you can turn off the valve and keep the fuel in the filter from seeping out.

I thought of gravity feeding somehow. Not ever in need of going fast
