I have got some Bosch Injectors as a back up and just wondering how I should store them. Would it be the same a fuel pumps to keep diesel in them? Cheers.

But it's in a dry location with no lid on.. So it'll just draw water in from the air?

Yes, moisture in the air. Diesel to moisture is like a sponge in a sink full of water.
