Your canister needs a purge line to the intake manifold through the thermo switch on the thermostat housing. If it doesn't purge, it will saturate with fuel vapor and drip out the bottom. The bottom line is the purge intake. It's meant to be open.
I got a gas smell from my canister that was driving me nuts. Checked all my vacuum lines and found out the purge line was cross-connected to a non-vacuum relief line. I hooked it back up properly and the smell went away. If the BVSV is not working, by-pass it and plug the purge directly to the vacuum source. It should be able to clear out the canister, given some time.
