Here's how I cleaned my daughter tank.

Try using a shop vac, blowing thru the tank to dry it, I did mine for 4 hours.
The Egg crate unit is your vacuum tank for the car. The tank and plastic line needs to be sealed to hold vacuum. Did you break the input nipple?? or what. Realize the tank line combination MUST be sealed and hold vacuum. If it was the mounting area, just glue it and reinstall it. If it is where the plastic line goes into the tank. As long as you can get it to seal your fine. Try a plumbing type putty for cars. Any paint jobber has the 3M putty that will hold the seal fine. Or try silicon caulk.
You do need your tank to work. To much depends on it. Door locks, transmission shift, Ac elements etc. Vacuum is very big in a Mercedes.
