can hydraulic fluid float on water?

Yes, hydraulic fluid can float on water depending on its density. Many hydraulic fluids, particularly those based on petroleum, are less dense than water, allowing them to float on the surface. However, some biodegradable or water-based hydraulic fluids may have a similar density to water and could either float or mix, depending on their specific composition.
