Water sinks in gasoline. Whatever size bottle you want to think about, it's heavier when it's
full of water, and lighter when it's full of gasoline.
Small aircraft, with their fuel tanks in their wings, used to have small bleeder valves in the
underside of the wing, where water was drained from the tank before flight. It was on the
bottom, because any water that condenses in the tank, or gets in there by any means, always
sinks in the gasoline and winds up at the bottom of the tank.
Assuming you mean ethanol?
Ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/cm3.
Gasoline has a density ranging from 0.71 g/cm3 to 0.77 g/cm3.
Because ethanol has a higher density than gasonline it will sink to the bottom.
Normally, alcohol will mix with gasoline. Before companies added alcohol to gasoline, people had a problem with water in the gasoline. Water would accumulate in the bottom of gas tanks. It would cause gas tanks to rust out. Alcohol mixes with both water and gasoline. As a result water now mixes with the alcohol mixed with the gasoline. Gas tanks no longer rust out.
Oil sinks in gasoline because it is less dense than gasoline. This causes the oil to settle at the bottom of the container while the gasoline floats on top.

Will engine oil float on top of gasoline?
No, engine oil is denser than gasoline and will sink to the bottom if they are mixed together. Oil is typically less buoyant compared to gasoline.
When milk is mixed with and gasoline which substance will float?
Gasoline
Can a coin float on gasoline?
No, a coin can not float on gasoline.
Will crude oil float on water or sink?
Crude oil generally floats on water due to its lower density. However, the exact behavior can depend on factors such as temperature, salinity, and the specific composition of the oil.
Does the type of liquid affect a marblhe4354e from sinking?
Yes, the type of liquid affects whether a marble will sink or float. Objects with a density greater than that of the liquid will sink, while objects with a lower density will float. For example, a marble made of glass (denser than water) will sink in water but float in a lighter liquid like oil.
Will engine oil float on top of gasoline?
No, engine oil is denser than gasoline and will sink to the bottom if they are mixed together. Oil is typically less buoyant compared to gasoline.
What liquid can ice sink in?
Vegetable oil? == == Any liquid that float over the water will make the ice sink if placed on it.Kerosene, gasoline, and some oils.
Do oil sink or float in water?
Float.
Will a rubber washer float or sink in corn oil?
FLOAT
Does aluminum sink in gasoline?
No, aluminum does not sink in gasoline. Aluminum is less dense than gasoline, so it will float on top of the gasoline rather than sinking.
Do a empty oil -drum with the stopper in float or sink?
It'll float
Is the ring sink or float in oil?
It sinks
Does air float or sink in gasoline?
Gasoline is less dense than air, so it floats on top of air. Air is lighter than gasoline and will rise up above the gasoline if they are in contact with each other.
Why do things sink or float in oil?
Things sink or float in oil based on their density. Objects that are less dense than the oil will float, while objects that are denser will sink. This is due to Archimedes' principle - an object will float if the weight of the fluid it displaces is equal to or greater than its own weight.
Will oil make an object float or sink?
It depends on the density of the object and the density of the oil. If the object has a higher density than the oil, it will sink. If the object has a lower density than the oil, it will float.
Will a bolt float in oil?
No. It is more dense. It will sink.
Does plastic ball float on oil?
This is a trick question. Gasoline actually dissolves plastics so the ball would neither sink nor float, it would become a part of the solution.
