why doesn't my engine like coolant??

ever since I put on a electric fan my engine shoots all the coolant into the overflow and then it overflows. It is getting expensive since I run evans for months now and now that I put the electric fan on it doesn't like coolant. the funny thing is it shoots the coolant out before the temp get abouve the half way mark. I am ging to replace the cap after I get off work and see what that does but this is no fun. anyone have a clew whats going on??

When I first converted to Evans I spilled a overflowed a whole lot as well, and it ended up being my cap modified incorrectly. I just got another one and it worked great after that.

Sounds like a radiator (pressure) cap problem.

Well just hope it isn't because of this

This is a n/a fc engine that went because of the front plate corroding away where the water seal sits. The owner would complain how it would shoot coolant out the overflow when ever it was running.
