Ken,  about 30 years ago a friend of mine's 5 or 6 year old son stuck a 
water hose in a 3,000 gal underground diesel fuel
tank at his dads truck stop, turned the valve open and no one found it until 
20 or 30 gallons of fuel floated out the top and
ran over on the ground.

A quart seems like a lot but here in AZ we don't know much about that
condensation stuff.

Sta-bil is your friend but this sounds a fair piece different. You don't
have grandkids "helping" you, do you? :)
