The plastic balls would float on top of the fuel. until they start to leak.
Gasoline contains about 300 different chemical components, of which many may interact with plastic. It may take time to become apparent.

I think it is a fun experiment. I expect your gas tank may make funny noises when you drive as the balls move against the top of the tank. I wonder if the balls start popping out of the filler pipe if you try to overfill the tank.

In other words... Subscribed!
