About the tarp, you're absolutely correct. Use a car cover instead as it will breathe. Tarps hold in moisture and will cause all kinds of problems. I just bought a tarp that has "Not for covering automobiles" printed on the bag.

I know diesel fuel has a useful life but don't know how long it is. You should be OK for 6 months, but if the car runs badly when you restart you may have to drain and refill the tank.
