I believe this is a simple arithmetic challenge.

Given that the the reservoir tank is empty.
Given that the tank capacity is 4l.
Given that both containers are full totaling 8l.
Given that one has no other empty containers.
You then have have enough for two fills. (2 X 4l)

One solution would be:

Fill the tank with just about half of the 5l container and continue to fill the 5l container, little by little, with the 3l container until the three gallon container is empty. You should then have 4l in the tank and 4l in the 5l container for the next fill.
"Just about half" will get you blown up!
