But you don't want to handle undiluted chlorine bleach
In Response To: You have posted those directions several times over the years ()
I think the idea is to mix up a solution that is safe to handle and pour into the tank. Then add water to the tank as needed.
You could do a lot of damage to fiberglass, gelcoat, fuel tank hoses, clothes, yourself with undiluted bleach. That's why all the instructions I've seen always start with diluting it before you do anything else with it.
You could mix up one five gallon batch at the intermediate dilution level, put it in the tank, then add the rest of the water. Or you could add ten 5-gallon batches at the final dilution level.

- This is what happens when you try to combine two separate sets of ALMOST identical directions.
