Question

Why is water not suitable to control the fire of oil and petrol​

Answer 1

$ANSWER$

As water is heavier than petrol therefore slips down permitting the petrol to rise to the surface and continue to burn. Besides, the existing temperature is so high that the water poured on the fire evaporates even before it can extinguisher the fire. The latter is true if small quantity water is poured. Thus the petrol fire cannot be extinguished by water
