The bigger worry is letting the engine sit too long. Just start it up for a few minutes every few months to give it a bit of a refresher and to make sure it does work for when power outage does roll around.

Off topic but you do realize that gas and diesel are all refined from the same oil don't you? Biocides are used in both as far as I know.
