ok, after running it for about 45 minutes, kept topping up, bubbles coming out tank.. before i could put the cap on, the top hose pressurized and start spitting boiling water out the tank everywhere and the temp gauge shot up, so i turned it off... shall i try it again when its cooled down a bit

And if i put that cap back on now, and it starts to overheat, could it be the cap at fault?
