I believe the challenge is that the expansion tank's neck is longer than a standard American radiator. Since the neck is longer there's effectively less pressure on the spring and the cap will open at less pressure than 16PSI, perhaps half that (??). I already trued the mating surface of the tank to assure a good seal.
Thanks
