Bpu,
When the old fuel starts to deteriorate and form film of varnishes, they tend to cause problem with the fuel distributor's filtration and plunger movement. The clearance between the barrel and the plunger is so small that even a thin film of varnish could prevent the plunger from sliding up and down the barrel.
If you store these CIS components in a well ventilated room, you could keep them in storage for many years without adverse effect. Unless the o-rings are already dry rot and hard, putting them in storage would surely not do any further damage. I don't keep or use WD-40 in my work so can not comment on its performance.
