My theory, as long as the container is closed, no more moisture can get in that isn't already in there.
There may be limited condensation on the inside, but it would have had to have condensed from water vapor suspended above the fuel level, or boiled out of the fuel itself. But what was there, is still there, the amount of moisture hasn't changed. If anything were to condense inside the container, it would be fuel vapor, which would simply return to the liquid form when the temperature equalized.
True fuel contamination from condensation would occur when the container is open to the atmosphere. The fuel would have to be colder than the air. Instead of accumulating on the walls of the container (which would quickly equalize with the air temperature, so no condensation would form there), the moisture would form on top of the cold fuel, and immediately sink to the bottom, or be absorbed by the ethanol, if present.
Gas line freezing is caused from liquid water settling in the low points of the line. Doesn't happen much now that most gas has ethanol.
Condensation inside a crankcase comes as a result of a byproduct of combustion. It accumulates there as a result of poor crankcase ventilation and failure to operate at high enough temperature to boil it away.

Today's Featured Article - Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
