Two things you can try: First, get a bigger funnel.
Second, instead of having the spout of the can facing away from you, turn the can around, and have the spout facing toward you. when the spout is facing away from you, fuel will start to flow as soon as you tilt the can. When the spout is facing away from you, you can tilt the can quite a ways before the fuel starts to flow, and it will flow more slowly.
