00' powerstroke,stock, no recent work and all of a sudden the garage smells badly of diesel, but much more like cetane fuel additive (which I have not added anytime recently), Any ideas ? Thanks for the feedback

Kids, pets, wife, your drunk self knock the cetane bottle over?

Check the valley of the motor to see if it's wet. Also check the fuel bowl drain tube. Passenger front of the motor.

+1 on above items, I have knocked over the cetane bottle before and it reeks for months. Also, if you had a decent cold snap recently and then parked in a toasty warm garage with a mostly empty tank, the thermal expansion of the vapor-space in the tank can get pretty offensive... but check for leaks and tipped over bottles too.
