oil gets on top of water and oil is flamable
Oil is less dense than water, so if you throw water on an oil flame the oil will float on top and continue to burn.
To safely put out a sterno flame, carefully cover it with a metal lid or snuffer to cut off the oxygen supply. Do not blow on the flame or attempt to extinguish it with water. Wait for the flame to completely go out before moving the sterno container.
Water stops oxygen from getting to the flame, and oxygen is the fire's food.
Oil's ingredients can be determined using a flame technique. What you need to do is pour it on your hair. Let it set for ten seconds, then light a match and put it on your head. The water will be vaporized and you will discover the ingredient. Trust me, it works perfectly.
water?
depends on how big the fire would be...... water for small fire most likely
in the case of a small grease fire you would cover the flame with a tea towel to block out the oxygen, whatever you do don't use water as the oil will bring the flame higher burning your roof and possibly making a bigger fire.
If your kerosene heater has a wicker which will carry the fuel additive (kerosene or oil) up towards the flame then you may put oil. However, if the heater works on hydrocaron compression-combustion priciple, then oil may not work as a fuel additive
Use water and coal. :D
It's oil! That is, if you put oil in your water then it's probably just some leftover oil that didn't drain out with the water and froze. If you didn't put oil in your water, then I have no idea what it is.
The water will warm until it reaches the same temperature as the flame. If the flame is hot enough, the water will eventually boil when it reaches 100ºC, and will then be converted to steam (water vapor).
put oil onit
