I'm figuring if you're letting your fuel tanks sit that full for that long you'd be using PRI-D or thier fungicides anyway.
From what I have read on the marine forums, none of that stuff works.
Never tried it myself, just repeating what I have read.
It is not so much the sitting full that creates the problem as simply an accumulation over years of warm/cold/warm cycles, high humidity, and darkness.
I would lay odds that probably 75% of the more-than-8-year-old trucks, that have never had the fuel tanks off, have an infestation to some degree.
I am also installing four of these (not all on one truck) :

It is a sediment/water seperator that has an easily removable CLEAR glass bowl, thus one can see what is going on with their fuel.
We Americans have gotten used to the disposable hands-off attitude about handling our fuel; whereas, the Britishers, Aussies, and New Zealanders have been perfecting means of super-cleaning their fuel, prior to it's entering the filter element.
As expensive as fuel has become, I think we should follow suit.
