    Diesel can absorb water from the air.

    Sorry, I cannot help with your problem. However, I would like to point out that “Chain storage disaster” sounds like the name of a lost album by The Fall.

    Diesel? Why? Just lube them and pop them in a bag.

    If there was any water in there then the diesel would float to the top leaving the chains on the bottom in the water

    Water helps, but oxygen is what is needed to oxidise. Diesel can have oxygen in it (and was it sealed tightly?) Engine oil will have corrosion inhibitors in it so would be a better bet for that sort of thing probably.
