They have specially made foaming extinguishers for this sort of thing, perhaps suffocating it (if it is very small) may work as well.

Why should water not be used to put out an electrical fire or fire in a petrol tank?

Water is a conductor of electricity, so using it to put out an electrical fire can result in electric shock or spreading the fire. In the case of a petrol tank fire, water is denser than petrol and can cause the petrol to spread, making the fire larger. It may also cause an explosion due to the rapid vaporization of water.
