Not familiar with diesel fuel storage, but the Net has several pitches for
additives/stabilizers/algaecides; probably worth pouring in a jug on top of
a diesel fill up...

No Xpert on storage, but I have been successful with m'cycles for 40+
years and, cars the past 5 winter seasons:
-put vehicle away clean.
-full tank with a stabilizer added.
-fresh oil/filter if it is "old", otherwise I don't worry about it.
-pump tires to near max; never a problem with flat spotting.
-stuff tail pipe(s), and nooks with soft rags to keep out critters.
-a glass dish of mothballs under hood, on engine and in interior,
to dissuade the ubiquitous winter critters.
-Battery Tender hooked to cheapo appliance timer, set to come
on twice a week for 12+ hours, to keep battery up.

A mnemonic tag to remind me, upon return...

My Vette/X, and 3 Scoots, have fired up every season, with zero
problems or ill effects.
