I didn't realize they could go bad. It seems like it could return to normal service after drying it out. I'm willing to get an education here. I thought that the canister was a place for unburnt gas vapor to to be captured when a vehicle is shut off and then drawn back in to be burned once the vehicle is running again. So I would have guessed that your problem is in the return line. That the vapors aren't being drawn off and burned.
