Can humans stay afloat on gasoline. For example if humans are working on a 200000 gallon storage tank and the roof gave way could you swim in the produce until help arrived?

Great question. The answer is almost certainly not. Gasoline is only 3/4 the density of fresh water. You could not float in it. As an addendum, by "staying afloat" the question implies effort as in treading, as one would tread water. Yes. But, because the viscosity of Gasoline is less than water it would take greater effort, more stamina and this causes heavier breathing. Beside the fact that gasoline is absorbed thru the skin and blisters, if help were not immediately forthcommiing, the noxious fumes would soon render one unconcious and thus result in drowning.
