Sloshing around means the baffles are trashed. Another tank is required. The dealer should at least bite some or all of the bullet if he failed to install the new part correctly or missed another fault. Potentially this was a safety hazard, you could have been driving a fireball. Where's Ralph Nader when you need him?
By coincidence my neighbors VW has just gone up in flames in his driveway. The alarm raised five fire trucks and 30 minutes of excitement in this little town.
