It actually is used, but only to cool the burning structures. If you add water to a large oil or gas fire, it would carry the burning fuel around, since the fuel is lighter and will float on the water.
because petrol is lighter than water and so petrol will flow on it.
The water will cause the burning petrol to splutter and flare up even more, and will also spread the flames further.
If it is a fire caused by petrol, use powder to extinguish it.
A conflict is like a 'fire'. Water puts out the fire. Petrol makes the fire stronger. Water or petrol poured on the fire(conflict )
Every one may think that you have to use water and I think you have to too!
Petrol will float on the surface of water, as petrol is less dense than water. So, it would be possible to set fire to a river, provided petrol is poured over the surface first!
Because petrol is a combustible substance. Water is inert.
There are various ways to extinguish a petrol/gasoline/flammable liquid fire.Water is heavier than petrol and will just have the effect of spreading the fire, Petro-chem fires are nearly always extinguished with chemical foam which forms a blanket over the flames and cuts off the oxygen supply. The worst thing you can turn on a petrol fire is a hosepipe. But if you want to sell your Damaged extinguisher then halon.us is the best place for it.
we should use petrol and diesel with care because it can cause fire and many can get injured.
foam fire extinguisher or a fire retardant spray
is the vehicle petrol or diesel
It is a fire hazard.
the heat affecting the natural petrol around the places or fire left over a volcano erruption
Water,which is havier than petrol,slips down permiting the patrol to rise to the surface. & therefore cant be mixed. this is also a reason due to which petrol fire cant be extingueshed by water.
