You Probably have the wrong radiator cap. In order for a recovery tank to 
work, the cap must seal in both the bottom of the neck, like all radiator 
caps and also at the top edge of the neck above the recovery tube. This is so 
that the vacuum created once the engine cools down after it is shut off, can 
suck the excess coolent back into the system.
