Holding tank bloat

Hi to all,
I replaced the holding tank in our 87 Defever 41. The old one cracked I believe because of a clogged vent line. The vent line was repaired and all was fine. I could hear the vent when we pumped out. I noticed the vent line dripping, so I went below to check the tank. I discovered it was bloated; it also is tilted downward(toward the inlets) a little.
Is the bloating caused by pressure and if the tank is tilted will that screw things up. Any remedies? We live aboard and this has become critical.

Thanks
Gordo
