I have a mk4c extractor. My base is 10"x12". It holds 20lbs of gas but we want to use our 5lb column amd run 50lbs of butane. Im thinking am extra pot with Ts and valves. But i cant seem to find what i picture on amy websites. Any suggestions/reccomendations?

I use a solvent tank as an intermediate vessel to make my collection bigger. It’s the bhogart honeypot method

Added to your 10x12 takes you to 2827cubic in
https://www.google.com/search?q=volume+of+a+cylinder
At 80% fill that’s 2261 cu.in ==1.3cu.ft
Density of butane is 35.77lb/cu.ft
=> 46.8lb capacity (at 80%)
Which is pushing it just a hair if you’re planning on putting 50lb in there, but not as much as you’re currently doing by putting 20lb in a “tank” 1/3 the size… (where 20lb looks at lot like 100% full!!)
