sink
Aluminum will sink in gasoline because its density (2.7g per cc) is greater than that of gasoline (about 0.7g per cc).
Gasoline is less dense than water, so it will float on top of the water rather than sinking. The difference in density between the two liquids causes the gasoline to create a distinct layer on top of the water.
Magnesium is denser than air, so it will sink in air rather than float.
Yes, diesel and gasoline have different densities, with diesel being heavier than gasoline. If you mix them in a container, they will not completely separate, but the diesel will sink and the gasoline will float on top due to the difference in density.
Sink or float... on what? - The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the fluid (gas or liquid) in which it is placed.

put water in to let it sink... then put air into it to let it float...
Air resistance.
The same piece of foil can float or sink depending on its shape and how it is positioned in the water. If the foil is shaped to trap air, it will float. If the foil is crumpled or folded so it doesn't trap air, it will sink.
An Orange with a Skin on will Float- Air will be trapped inside the skin, but an Orange without the skin on, although lighter, has no air trapped, and will, in turn, sink.
No, engine oil is denser than gasoline and will sink to the bottom if they are mixed together. Oil is typically less buoyant compared to gasoline.
Helium is lighter than air. So it will float in air.
Gasoline
Gasoline is less dense than water, so it will float on top of the water rather than sinking. The difference in density between the two liquids causes the gasoline to create a distinct layer on top of the water.
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
