So I built a mancave and now....

Hello folks!

So my cave is finished and I was able to start getting some of my toys brought in over the weekend. First in is my restored 1940 Model H John Deere tractor, looks great. But damn the next morning the smell of gas is awful! I shut the valves, wiped everything down and still bad smell! The tractor does not leak any fluids at all, but yet the smell is horrible. Next step I plan to drain the carb bowl and add a piece of plastic under the gas cap to prevent it from venting. The cave is about 500 sq ft.
Any ideas on what else I can do? And how do I get the smell out of my cave? Any products out there that work for this? Again the tractor does not leak, it has to be just fumes from venting or ??

Thanks !!
