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 - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
