What diesel conditioner to use for storage??
Going to put the ol motorhome in storage soon. Will be there for about 5 months. I know I should use something in the tank to maintain the diesel (keep from geling or growing little thingys) while it ...

"Little Thingys" will only grow at the water/fuel interface. If there is no water in the tank, nothing can grow. If there is water in the tank, it should be drained and cleaned, as water also causes rust and rust will eat a hole in the tank bottom!
The tank should be filled full, IMO. An air space can contribute to condensation, creating water in your tank. If the tank is filled on a warm day, it should not expand enough to overflow.
You CAN put Sta-Bil (or some other preservative) in the tank for storage, but it is not needed. Diesel fuel does not rot and turn to varnish like gasoline does.
