Why store with a full tank of fuel?

[Jimmy N.]

I...so I wouldn't think topping it up is needed unless you guys worry about condensation some how? I'd wonder if the fuel is still any good after storage for 5 or 6 months? .

I have yet to find any condensation in any tanks here, including metal storage tanks that are exposed to the sun. Going on three years with gas for the vehicles that get fueled up at home.

The greatest contributor to condensation...is variable temperatures...

Yeah, that would be logical, but...we often have 50 degree differences between the low and high temp in a day, and tanks in the sun would be subjected to a bigger difference.

If there's little to practically no humidity where would the condensation come from?
