Cellar sump room questions

[mvallee]

We are in the process of remodeling our downstairs and I have to give up the utility closet I have been using for my 55gallon sump, ATO and storage area for some of my reef stuff that help support my 180 gallon mixed reef DT.
I thought about setting up a smaller sump under the tank but it seems so limiting compared to what I have now plus I would need a new skimmer, pump etc.. to make it all work and still need to set up a mixing station somewhere.

Preferred option for me is to utilize the cellar but I have a couple concerns and would like input from others who may ventured into the cellar fishroom/sump room setup.
My concern is I heat with oil and what magnifies the oil concern is it is a tight space, most of my house is over a crawl space and my actual cellar is only 12' X 24' and then you have a 250 gallon oil tank a boiler stairs plus storage all in that space so you can imagine not a lot of room so I can not frame it in or seal it from the room although I do think I would figure out how to cover/block the tanks maybe with some type of styrofoam enclosure or plexiglass cover.

My questions are really this I guess
- will the oil furnace negatively impact my fish tanks with that much surface area being exposed in the basement?
- Will my oil furnace be negatively impacted by having 100+ gallons of Saltwater in the vicinity?

thanks

I have a very small room that houses my oil burner and sump/fuge and over 13yrs have seen no ill effects, actually helps keep the close to 150g warm

Awesome thanks for replying with an image that shows how close the burner was to the sump/fuge, definitely doable, now to start making some room down there.
