water has more density than oil so oil floats on water hence if we pour water on fire caused by oils it will not extinguish it will promote the fire .

Answer:

Water should not be used to putoff fire when burning of petrol because water contains oxygen and oxygen will make the fire more and more continous and brighter and it will be difficult to putoff the fire.
