Anti-slosh pan inside gas tank is loose! 900

Hello Spook!
First i would like to thank you for your response.I would like to share what i did today(excuse my English writing) did this in a 1992 740 Wagon.
It has been a week since i emptied and dried the gas tank with rags,and the tank has been venting for a whole week waiting to resolve this issue.I took the RISK and heated the bottom of the slosh pan to the tank, i think it worked,time will tell.
I cleaned both areas using (Acetone) then turned the slosh pan upside down and carefully drilled four holes using my dremel with a small drill bit,then vacuumed all particles and debris from tank,flipped back and seated the splosh pan in the tank.
I had couple of pieces of new exhaust connectors laying around,connected them together and aimed them down the slosh pan at those holes drilled earlier,this is right where the screen filter for the fuel pump sits (the purpose of using those connectors is getting the hot air to the spot where i need it)
I then took my 1500 watts stripper heat gun,aimed it through the exhaust connectors and let the hot air flow through the (connectors tunnel) per say, heating the area for 30 seconds,remove connectors,wait another 30 seconds,heat again and so on.Reason for waiting,did not want the tank to overheat and create more problems.After eight tries,i waited 15 minutes to let everything completely cool down,now the slosh pan is glued well enough to the gas tank!
I just wanted to share what i did,for me it is a temporary fix,i still took your suggestion and called a junkyard and reserved a gas tank out of a future car.
If someone would want to try this please DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK,DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK,I AM ONLY RESPONSIBLE FOR MY OWN WORK!!
Thank you so much and may God bless!
Charles.
