Basement Smell
We have an oil/gasoline (not gas) smell in our basement but we don’t have an oil burner or even an oil tank. It only smells in part of the basement, not near the furnace. We’ve sniffed everywhere and can’t find the source of the odor. Any ideas???

Did the smell go away? If so I’d say a neighbor poured oil or whatnot in the sewer. I had an oily gassy smell before, freaked out, and it was gone in 12-24 hours. Same smell came back once or twice over the years, dissapearing just as quckly.
could it be an old oil tank that was never removed, and it’s finally “failed” and is leaking below your basement floor?
start running!
You don’t live in Greenpoint, do you?
Leak in neighbor’s tank?
