Hi hammy - do you have an electric switch to wire your pump up to, or do you have a micro switch tap?  or will you require a foot pumped pump?.  Is the cap a screw cap or a pop open cap? 

Any caravan shop will sell the water pumps and the tubing per metre, the water pump will need to reach the bottom of you tank and you attach the tubing to the outlet on the pump this will need to be long enough to reach your tap, get more tubing than you think you need, you may need to buy some extra wire if the switch for the pump/tap is far away or the microtap is far away.  If you get a replacement cap that is the same size you will need to put a hole or hole in it for the tubing and or wire. 

Water pumps basically come in sizes relating to how much water than can pass out I have small pump as its only for the sink not a shower or anything, so you may only need a small one costs around £10 -£15 here tubing maybe .30p to .50p per metre.  what about your waste tank?

Hope this is info is okish you can always email me if you want pictures but my set up is different but was created by me
