Default plastic radiator reservoir problems

i'm sure many of you xj owners have had an issue with the reservoir tank leaking or boiling over because the cap isn't quite tight enough...has anybody come up with a permanent fix..perhaps a different kind of tank?any feedback is appreciated....i've replace the tank once and cap twice and all the coolant lines...thanks for any help............

I gave up and converted the wifes 89 over to the open system from my 92 parts XJ

Used an overflow bottle from a Rodeo. Fit good where the old bottle and shelf were.
