Shop set-up in basement....

admin

Hi there, new to the forum. I'm thinking about setting up a small shop in my basement. It will be at one end of the basement but my furnace with hotwater heater with pilot light supplied by natural gas will be at the other end. Approx. 15 feet away. My work shop will have an exhaust fan running when I'm working. I want to know the dangers of having a tank of argon or argon mix in the basement with a pilot light running on my hotwater tank and furnace. Any comments are welcomeThankyou
