what happens when petrol is freezed and put in fire will it explode?

Most petroleum products do not freeze.  Instead they tend to gel or take on a greaselike property at extremely low temperatures.  If you put it into a fire, it would first have to heat up until the flashpoint temperature of the petroleum was reached, at which point it would begin to combust, though not explode.\nTo get petroleum to actually explode, you need to confine it inside of some type of container so that it can build pressure for an explosion.  Otherwise it burns too slowly to cause a real explosion.

Hmmm......\n\nI don't know. I assume things can explode, as long as the essential ingrediants are stored within the object exploding..\n\nHowever, it may be more of an implosion. \n\nSo, yes, no, maybe. Give me my 10 points.

No. It would have to be extremely cold before one would crack. I've had them in my vehicle when it got down to -10F and nothing happened.

drain your gas tank or you will mess up your engine

It will definitely explode, but not to this extent as you have mentioned. \n\nIf you want a more massive explosion try out a beer can or champagne bottle. Then the blast will be enough to hurt humans, but again not to your desired extent.

it burns. Gasoline contains various compounds of carbon (C) and hydrogen (H). When you add oxygen (O) and burn it, chemical reaction results in water H2O (water vapor) and CO2 (carbon dioxide)

very very dangerous, the explosion could be very very bad  also acetelyne would explode with just the tinyest spark

The engine will seize up

Yes, gasoline can freeze.  The liquid in it is partly water, so it would be like freezing alcohol, it won't freeze solid, but will turn really slushy.

1. oil can freeze\n\n2. internet

Very bad things. The water will not burn, so the engine will run very rough (if at all), water can also confuse the oxygen sensor and cause the computer to give you a check engine light until it clears up, and water sitting in your fuel system can also start to rust & corrode things from the inside out. The worst-case scenario is that enouth water finds its way into the cylinder head, fills the combustion chamber, and causes a condition known as hydro-lock. Since water can't be compressed, it can cause catastophic engine damage since pistons, connecting rods and cylinder heads will usually fail first under that kind of pressure.\nGood luck,\nSteve

Whewwww, makes me hot and cold at the same time just thinking about it, good question though. Probably freezing, it would take longer but the idea of my flesh burning off is kind of disgusting. Guess the smoke from the fire would kill me first, but not factoring that into the equation.

Yes. We also have a fire extinguisher that believe it or not, we actually used. We were at a highway rest stop and a pickup pulled up beside us. It was obviously overheating and when the owner popped the hood, smoke came pouring out and we saw flames. My husband quickly emptied the trunk to get the extinguisher and was able to put out the fire. Look, the cost of a first aid kit is very small and if you never use it--no harm done. But you never know when it might come in handy, and then you'll be glad you had it.

So what does your question have to do with the car being set on fire?

Depends on what is being split and where the combustion takes place.  The combustion alone will produce changes of oxygen, hydrogen and any other chemical in the air or around the combustion.  The remaining products will more than like be water, carbon min-oxide, etc.

in space, it is a vaccum.  and on earth, the air pressure keeps your body intact.  there is a lot of pressure coming down upon your body and your body's pressure outward is kept at an equillibrium.  thus preventing you from exploding or imploding, unless you get too deep in the ocean you would implode from the excessive pressure from the water.\n\nin space, a vaccum, there isn't external pressure pushing against the pressure exerted by your body outwards hence causing you to explode.  once you have exploded... if you are far enough from any heat source, you will freeze.  if you are close enough to a heat source you will burn up.\n\nyou can test this vaccum idea by getting a plastic bottle and covering the opening with your mouth.  if you suck and suck really hard the air is removed, hence the bottle will become closer to a vaccum and the outside pressure will crush the less pressured bottle.  but if your tongue or lips are at the tip of the opening, it will hurt b/c that is the pressure from your body pushing outwards towards a less pressured area trying to obtain equilibrium.

It's difficult to answer this question.  Everything has a freezing point, also called the melting point because it is the transition from solid to liquid or vice versa.  The reason it is difficult to answer this question is because gasoline is not comprised of one molecule.  It is a mixture of hydrocarbon chains, between 5-10 carbons long.  If you did it correctly, you could freeze gasoline and that would separate the mixture.
