Basement smells like oil
Hello,
I just purchased a new house to fix up and then perhaps live in, but most likely rent and keep as an investment. The house is 79 y/o and has an oil furnace, while the surrounding suburbs are all on NG. My current home has NG and we have always been told that if you smell ANY GAS you should call 9-11 and get the heck out. Well, is this true with oil? There is a strong smell down there but there is a tank inspection sticker that is fairly recent. On a lighter note, this furnace may interest some of you. It has one and only one vent, directly above it, seen he http://tinyurl.com/9hzgb Here is the unit from below: http://tinyurl.com/ar8su Can anyone tell me what that tank is next to the furnace, and that small black thing as well? Here's a close up: http://tinyurl.com/ax8f6 If the gas smell isn't a problem, would it be hard to switch to NG? |
