Always store the bike with the tank FULL any condensation won't rust 
the tank but it will contaminate the fuel and I don't know of any 
motor vehicle that runs well with water in the fuel. Always treat the 
fuel with Stabil, keeps it fresh >>

Red Line makes some stuff called Fuel System Water Remover & Antifreeze. I 
quote from the label:
Fuel System Water Remover and Antifreeze is designed to disperse controlled 
amounts of water in diesel fuel or gasoline in order to eliminate 
contamination and condensation in fuel tanks and to prevent the water from 
freezing in the fuel lines or filters - a major cause of engine shutdown or 
poor startability in cold weather. One ounce per twenty gallons is 
recommended and will disperse one ounce of water in very tiny droplets and 
will reduce the freezing point to -5 degrees F (-21 degrees C). More can be 
used for greater contamination. Lubricants will lubricate the water and fuel 
phases, preventing damage to injectors and pumps. The lubricated water phase 
actually provides lower wear than diesel alone. This additional lubricant 
will reduce friction sufficiently even in dry fuel to provide diesel engine 
efficiency improvements between 2 - 3% based on fleet and dyno tests. Other 
water "removal" products use alcohol or glycol ethers to "dry" fuels, but 
after several treatments, the water and alcohol still remains.

Sounds like just the stuff for those who have to store their bikes in cold 
garages!
