When I seafoam my 4runner I use two cans: I pour half of one can(measure before-hand) into the vacuum line connected to the brake booster. I pull the line off, start the truck, and pour into it. You won't need a funnel because the line will suck the fluid into it. I pour quick enough that the truck stumbles just a little, but doesn't stall. After you finish pouring the half immediately turn the truck off. Now you wait about 10 minutes and start it back up. Rev the truck and you should have some thick white smoke puring out of the exhaust. After revving it for a couple minutes, take it for a drive around the block until the smoke stops. Then go and do the same with the other half. After you're finished running round 2, head up to the gas station, pour the other can into gas tank, and fill the rest with gas. I usually don't put any of it in the crankcase(oil) unless i'll be doing an oil change within the next day... So, this is how I do it and it works great for me, hope it helps.
