    The system is meant to be under pressure about 13lb when hot that is why you should never remove the filler cap when the engine is still hot. If the expansion tank is too full it will blow off the excess coolant.

    When the system is cold the expansion tank should only be about half full. Also is the system filled with 50% Ford coolant and 50% water?
