My Daughter has a fuel tank that is leaking in her apartment. They have been staying there for a few days getting headaches etc from it. Her cat has been there the whole time. I told my daughter that they need to be staying in a hotel while this problem fixed.
I told her it's pretty toxic and to get away from it pronto. She is in Portland, ME where it's extremely cold with no heat and fumes.
My daughter also has asthma
Please advise........

Fuel oil is very toxic, and the mist has coated the lungs ,with a fine film inside of the lungs ,and can cause cancer ,and breathing conditions ,to worsen over time . You need a doctor for this condition, i wonder how you made it this far, without some help. This would be like living inside a fuel tank , for 2 weeks and most people would die ,after 30 minutes from the fumes . You must have gotten enough good air, to let you live thankfully and you should move out of the house now .This stuff does not leave the dirt or the house, it only gets weaker smelling ,but is still there 24/7 . The EPA should be called in to clean this up, because this is a spill of good size. The neighbours are in danger also ,if any one finds out about this they will arrest you for not telling this ,and getting it fixed ."This is very serious" , now am not going to tell on you, but ill bet you some one will ,and do not stay in this house a minute longer .You better get a doctor's care now.

Yes the fumes are very toxic and we had one customer where there was a spill and was being attended by the contractor. However, the owner developed chemical burning of throat and had to be relocated. Once they used VaporRemed the odor had gone almost instantly and they could seal the basement and the owner came back to his house. The fumes from these spills are very toxic and they need to be addressed quickly and effectively. I am giving you a link to the case below.
