I know it�s a PITA, but I'd pull the suspect tank/cap and return them
immediately.  That's too vital a part to leave to chance.

|Hi� all, just a heads up to let you know that I had to wrap a 
|bunch of Teflon tape on my new Expansion tank threads in order 
|to get the Cap to seal on the tank�.� The cap was new as well 
|. Very poor fit on the threads. I ran it on the driveway until 
|the Radiator fan came on. The threads then sealed as they 
|should. We got our Westy back after a manual trans rebuild, it 
|is now a joy to drive.
