I've got a new cap which is not a tight fit on the tank. I pack around the cap with blue roll ( kitchen roll type stuff ). That seems to stop most of the problem.

I wish I'd tried the caps before fitting the tanks as it is the angle (or lack of) of the ramps in the neck that are the issue.

It sounds like this might be your problem.
