the filler neck on the 39b im getting the solder has broke loose and the filler neck is off. What is the best way to go about soldering back on. Should i clean it then fill with water or is there some other way to keep from blowing it up

Chris, the best & safest way is to wash the tank out with a professional tank purging cleaner then fill with water to just below the repair level & then solder.
~If you can't find that, or talk your local tank repair facility out of a little, clean the tank out multiple times using very hot water [steam is best] & laundry soap. Then fill with water to just below the repair level. I don't like water in some cases & will occasionally use dry ice in the bottom of the tank to fill it with co2 so there is no oxygen left inside to allow the fuel vapor to explode. What happens is; even in a cleaned out tank [when it is heated] fuel vapors will creep out of the seams & from under the old solder joints & can form an explosive mixture in the tank. Be careful using open flame on any gas tank, even a cleaned out old one.....
