I'll throw in my 2 cent worth.
As far as I know, good clean diesel fuel holds up pretty well. In theory
you keep a full tank, fill up at the end of the day, so the moisture in the
air doesn't condense when the equipment cools off. The water will not
condense bad until the cooling takes place. I would think you can store it
with out much air exchange, but it will expand with heat. Might bust a can
or drum.
You can buy gasoline stabilizer that will help the gas stay fresh. I bought
some last year and it is still sitting on my shelf. I'm going to put it in
my gas for my summer tools NEXT week. I've been working on that for a year.
The stabilizer is cheap and available at most car part stores. My brother
uses it and it works good.
In the HVAC trade we use expansion tanks that have rubber bladders in them
that do what you where talking about. I don't think you would want to store
or use fuel that would be under pressure like these tanks work off of.
Maybe someone makes a unit that vents to the atmosphere.
Just a thought
