Bad idea. There is a risk of corrosion for anything that is not covered by fuel. Always store a car with a full tank.
Anyone that is familiar with gasoline aircraft engines will tell you that you must store a vehicle with a full tank. The airspace in the tank can intorduce moisture from condensaion. Also the fuel will become "stale" from additional exposure to oxygen.
You want as little air in the fuel tank as possible.
When fuel tanks were steel, you could tell how much fuel an old car had been stored with, because the top of the fuel is where the tank would eventually rust through.
Fill the tank before storage.
