leaving for a month, anything i should do?
my main question is: will the fuel go bad in a month? but if you have other recomendations as to what i need to do to the car while I am away for a month, that would be great.

A month is not going present any problems to you - I assume the car is the TD. I parked my Isusu diesel in the garage before labor day in TX came back for Turkey Day, fired it up drove it around and put it back in the garage.

Fill the fuel tank as full as possible to expel the air and reduce water condensation inside the tank. This would apply to gassers as well.

Left my 307d sitting in a barn in England for a year. Started right up on first crank. I would have put an algaecide in the tank if I had had any. I didn't but the fuel stayed clean anyway. I also did it over a six month period. Again with no problems.
There is no problem similar to a carburated gasser in which the fuel evaporates from the bowl in the carb leaving varnish behind.
