Mixing water with any burning oil is extremely dangerous. The oil/gasoline can splash away from the centre of the original fire cashing more fires to start, burn those trying to fight the fire etc. There are liquids used that are not water based but are liquid these are mostly used for chemical fires -On small oil fires form or Co2 gas is used to starve the fire of oxygen and put it out.

Gasoline and water do not mix why?

Gasoline and water do not mix because they have different polarities. Gasoline is nonpolar, while water is polar. This polarity mismatch prevents them from forming a homogeneous mixture. Instead, they separate into distinct layers due to their different intermolecular forces.


Would gasoline turpentine or mercury settle at the bottom of water?

Of the three, only mercury (a liquid metal) is heavier than water and would sink to the bottom. Gasoline is partly miscible (forms suspensions in water), while turpentine has a lower density than water and would float on top.
