There are several things it could be. 1) You might have a cracked heat exchanger. That will let fumes in to the house side of the furnace. That you need to rule out ASAP like yesterday. 2) Your tank could be getting low. I have had to drain the bottom of my propane tanks before. The smell that propane has is added. Sometimes you can get a concentration of that in the bottom of the tank. If you do drain off the tank put some floor dry under the drain off. That stuff is so smelly that you want to be able to clean it up.
I would not trust a CO2 detector for it being safe. You might have a flammable mixture in the basement and not a CO concentration. You could go BOOM.
I see you are from Iowa. remember that family that had the house blow up on Thanksgiving several years ago. It killed most of them. They had got a puppy a few days before and the father had drive a steel post, for a dog pen, through the propane line. The propane was filtered through the ground into the basement and did not have any smell.
Your local fire department has sniffers that can tell you if it is explosive.
