Great.
I used 1gal = 4L from memory but it's 13.21gal as you say.
First time you are treating the complete tank, after that just what you add when you fill up.
Call it 1.7oz for the first time. Still 0.13oz per gallon after that.

That's a lot less than the 4oz of Lucas oil that NICOLA is adding every fill up. Even double that to 1:500 is only 2.6oz for a 10gal fill up but best to use the minimum needed to hopefully shut it up.
