I won't say it's the best idea, just an idea! Extra heat in the fuel tank could potentially degrade plastic/rubber fuel tank components and of course the heat increases fuel volume. In tank fuel lift pumps may also be effected too. Thermal storage capacity will eb and flow with fuel quantity. I believe this all could be managed though, and enable thermal storage on board without any additional liuid or thermal storage volume added.
