    Blow off

    Does it happen with the fill valve isolated?

    Do you have an indirect tank or coil that could be leaking high pressure domestic water into the system.

    Is the expansion tank sized correctly?

    Did you check the tank pressure when it was detached from the system?

    A picture of the piping arrangement would help.
