Actually, you cannot use water to put out every fire. If you try to use water on a grease fire or electrical fire, it will not work and make things a lot worse for you. Putting water on burning grease or similar materials will only cause the grease to start popping and burning you, And on an electrical fire, the electricity from the source will just put a current up the stream of water coming back to the person spraying. Also, the same thong counts for gasoline and car fires in some cases. The gasoling will continue burning sometimes. Not all fire extinguishers use water, a lot ofthem use a dry chemical substance, which is more effective and can be used in more scenarios. In general, silver ones will contain water, and a red is a DryChem. Always check the diamond label's letters prior to using an extinguisher.
By analysis of the stoichometric equations for the reactions between the two substances; eg reaction of octane in air2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 +18H2OThis reaction shows that 2 moles of octane reacts with exactly 25 moles of oxygen.One mole of a gaseous species always occupies roughly the same volume as any other gaseous species so it is possible to mix 2 parts octane with 25 parts oxygen.N.B. Gasoline is comprised of a series of hydrocarbons with between 4 and 12 carbons. Octane is one of these constituent hydrocarbons.
If you have bad fuel in your blazer first you could drain all the gas out of the gas tank and then if you have a carburetor take it off and clean it up with carburetor cleaner and blow air through all the jets and if you wanted to really make sure you could take out your spark plugs and get a torch and burn all excess oil/fuel off sparkplugs then reinstall and then put good gasoling back in another thing you might want to either clean your fuel filter or replace it
replacing fuel pumps is not really a do it yourself job----they are electrc motors mounted in the gas tank---so first you have to remove the fuel from the tank so that when youi lower the tank it is not so heavy ---in the process of droping the tank you have to remove the straps that hold the tank to the car (usually rusty and not easily removed) then remove the filler hose--the vent hoses--the wiring for the guage and motor wires as you lower the tank---once out of the car the replacing of the actual pump is not to hard----there is a large retaining ring that secures the assemply to the tank--a punch and hammer will unlock the ring--pull out the pumkp and replace sith a new one---now the worst and most difficult part trying to lift the tank back into place while attaching all the hoses and wires at the same time--then fighting with the straps that hold it to the underside of the car not a easily done job---meanwhile the entire shop reaks of gasoling
