From what i gather bro your striped the threads on the vapor(blue valve) on you solvent tank. Now you have your feed line connected to you liquid port(red valve) and have the tank upside down. This is the first think you have to change. All you need is to flip your tank right side up.

i will do that now should i have the tank on the ground or elevated over the sytem

also my tank is at 25 degrees

Exactly, the pressure pushed about 1 # of vapor out of the dio tube into your material column.

you need a pressure guage on your tank, or somewhere inline.

@soxhlet is correct. A few compound guages and pressure releif valves are a very good idea. The tank can be on the floor with no problem. The idea behind this type of system(passive) is to use a temperature diferencial to move you solvent. Those tanks you posted are barbecue tanks.
