Why you can't put out gasoline with water

It is prohibited to weld and cut containers of flammable and combustible liquids, as well as flammable and explosive gases (tanks, tanks, barrels, reservoirs) without first cleaning, steaming these containers and removing gases by ventilation.

Burning gasoline cannot be extinguished with water, since it does not mix with water, but simply floats to its surface, continuing to burn. In this case, it will begin to spread along with the water, increasing the area of ​​the fire.
