I would be diluting it into 320 gallons of fuel.

Is this common?

The better practice would be to save the used oil and take it to a
recycling station.
On a long voyage, you may wind up with a few 10-gallon containers of
used oil.

Pouring the used oil into your fuel tank *will* work, but why introduce
all those contaminants into the fuel system?
