Yes, diesel will float on top of water. This is because the petrol will weigh less than the water will weigh, therefore it will float on top of the heavier substance.

∙ 15y agono oil is lighter then water (not as dens) fuel is lighter then water so i would say the ingreedience combined wouldn't make it heavier

How much does 1 gallon of red diesel fuel weight?
Number 2 or red diesel weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon. It is slightly heavier than water which weighs 8.13 pounds per gallon.
Is a solution heavier than a solvent?
Depends on the solute: alcohol in water is lighter, salt in water is heavier than water.
Is salt water's density heavier than pure water?
Salt water's density greater (not heavier) than that of pure water.
Is breath heavier than air?
No, water is heavier than air.
Is Saturn lighter or heavier than water?

What is heavier diesel fuel or water?
Water is heavier than diesel fuel
Which is heavier water or kerosene?

How hot does it get inside a diesel boiler?
A boiler is used to boil water, but many boilers work at high pressure so the temperature could be up to about 300 degrees C. Boilers are usually fed with oil that is heavier than diesel, while diesel is used to fuel diesel engines.
Does water take up more space cubic feet than diesel fuel?
A cubic foot is a cubic foot is a cubic foot... If you are referring to ask for a given equal mass of water and diesel fuel: The specific gravity of #2 diesel fuel is about 0.89, depending on the quality. The specific gravity of a liquid is the ratio of it's density to that of water. Since the specific gravity of diesel is less than one, it is less dense than water. Conversely, diesel is more voluminous than water. It will float on top of it. The answer to this question is that for an equal mass of water and diesel the latter will occupy more volume.
Has diesel got more fuel energy than petrol?
Actually diesel fuel has a slightly lower amount of energy per weight than gasoline (45.3 vs. 47.2 MJ/kg). Cylinder pressure is what gives diesel engines their power, that is why diesel engines parts are so much stronger/heavier than gas similar sized gas engines.
What happens if water gets into the gas tank?
Water and fuel dont mix that well.Water is heavier than petrol but is still drawn into the carbarettor.Here it will sit in the fuel bowl and severely interrupt fuel supply,resulting in engine missing and stalling.Result same for injected petrol system.With diesel(derv,heavy fuel)the engine will probably still run "ok" but not recommended.
How many pounds is in a gallon of diesel fuel?
About 7 pounds (it's lighter than water).
