Which is heavier gasoline or motor oil?
if the two were in a container, the oil would raise to the top. if that helps any
Is oil heavier than water?
The short answer is, it depends on which oil you're talking about. There are many different things that are considered "oils". For the most part, an oil is: hydrophobic (is repelled by water / doesn't mix with water), a liquid at 25°C, and is soluble in (mixes with) organic solvents. How 'heavy' something is is determined by density. One way to describe the density of a liquid is by giving its 'specific gravity', which means how heavy is it compared to water. The specific gravity of water is 1, so any oil with a specific gravity greater than 1 will sink in water, while any oil with a specific gravity lower than 1 will float on water. Most things that people are likely to encounter that they call 'oil', such as motor or vegetable oil, are lighter than water, but there certainly are oils that are heavier than water.
Is making gasoline a chemical or physical change?
While isolating gasoline compounds from oil (fractional distillation) is a physical process, most gasoline is also chemically altered to provide a stable motor fuel. This is primarily by catalytic conversion.
Is oil found under or above natural gas?
Under, it is heavier than the gas that comes off it.
How do you separat disel from gas?
ANS1:using a sieve (no, the two form a solution) ANS2:I'm afraid you can't. Gasoline is a powerful solvent, and merges with the oil into new compounds. It would be like mixing red food color and then yellow food color into water - making orange water - and then trying to separate out the red food color again. What you need to do is find a facility that will take the contaminated gas/oil, and have them dispose of it. ANS3:The practical answer is "Start your engine". Any gasoline in your oil will 'cook off' and be drawn into the induction system through the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve. If you have a lot of gasoline (more than a 4th of your oil is gasoline) in your oil, you can expect to damage your engine because the gasoline will thin the oil and reduce its ability to lubricate it. The way to avoid that (painful, yes) is have the car towed to a facility where the oil can be changed, and have it changed. No engine damage. Alternatively, change the oil yourself. But then you are back to the problem of having to dispose of the contaminated oil. To separate the gasoline from the oil on a laboratory bench or as a thought problem, you would use distillation. Oil, being a much heavier molecular weight, will evaporate after the gasoline.

What goes into a motor?
Gasoline or oil usually goes into a motor.
Which is more dense motor oil or gasoline?
Motor oil will float on water. That makes water denser.
What is a difference between gear oil and the motor oil?
Gear oil is normally a much heavier oil.
What two substances are classified as hazardous in motor vehicle?
The motor vehicles gasoline and oil.
Can i use an outboard motor oil for my gasoline engine car?
No
Do you need to an oil to the gasoline on a 4 stroke outboard motor?
no
What motor oil grade to use for Mitsubishi legnum?
You can use 10W-30 weight motor oil in your Mitsubishi. A heavier motor oil can be used in extreme climates.
Does automobile oil have gasoline?
No. Crude petoleum oil mined originally contains gasoline, however. If you are referring to common motor oils, such as penzoil or castrol, then no, they do not contain gasoline
What is the method used for separating the components gasoline and motor oil?
Gasoline is made from oil by fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives.
Can you use gasoline motor oil in a diesel engine?
You must use the manufacturer's recommended weight. Diesels run hotter than automobile engines so you may need a heavier oil. Read your owner's manual. Also at the oil intake, it should list the type of oil needed. It is the weight of the oil that is important. If it requires 20W-40, do not put in 5W-20.
Will heavier weight motor oil quiet a nocking engine?
Yes
