Question

if oil or petrol catches fier throw what​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Fire produced by the burning of oil or petrol cannot be controlled by throwing water on it because water being heavier than oil, settles down the oil and oil continues to burn. In the case of fires caused by burning liquid fuels, such as kerosene oil can be controlled by throwing sand or soil over it.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The fires caused by the burning of inflammable materials like oil or petrol are also extinguished by using carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. ... The heat of fire decomposes these chemicals to produce carbon dioxide gas.

   Answer: A small fire can be extinguished by throwing sand or soil over it. If the amount is large, a little water spreads it; but a deluge of water smothers it.
