We can have quite a lot of trouble with bacteria in diesel here in the mining game in Oz. Warm climate, large fuel stores etc. Putting a biocide in the fuel tank should not cause too much of an issue. Most fuel tanks, especially older vehicles like ours, have a degree of deposits, water and goo at the bottom of the tank. Any particulates that are formed will most likely settle in the bottom of the tank. So long as you don't run the tank dry it wont go through your fuel system.
Here is the blurb about one such Biocide available in Oz.
Diesel Biostat—A potent anti-microbial agent to kill and inhibit the growth of microbes and sterilize severely contaminated fuel in all diesel applications for microbial control. Ideal for treatment of storage tanks. Biostat will not harm exhaust particulate filters or oxidizer traps and contains no alcohol.

Of course, over here most fuel stations sell this stuff on the shelf next to the oxtane booster, injector cleaner and radiator additives.
