I would be quite concerned with these fumes going into your whole house
ventilation system and poisoning you and your family slowly over time...

Really? I just assumed that smelling a small amount of exhaust was
normal. I'm not that concerned, though. The house is old and so
drafty. Even with the storm windows closed, we get lots of fresh
(arctic) air circulation. I'm more worried about the tank....

The problem is not the smell of the exhaust gases...
You should be thankfull they have some odor.
Fumes contain CO, and CO is totaly devoid of smell but poisonous.
I hope you have got CO detectors in a good working condition...

Pszemol,

No, but you've inspired me to go get some...

Ok Guys: ANother thought because I thought about a sump in the basement
because of cooling and size, but what kind of pump will pump a 14-15 ft
head? or how would you arrrange it, so that it would work.

Certainly very expensive one ;-)

Check out Iwaki - there is some with two versions: normal and high head.
Here, at DrFosterSmith.com they offer "Little Giant" pump with max head 44':

put your sump on a high shelf so it's closer to the ceiling, which will
reduce your head requirements.

But you will have to put your sump on the shelf, too.
