Liquid fuels?
When you see liquid fuels like gasoline or diesel, in a liquid form, is that all hydrocarbons, or is that hydrocarbons suspended in water? The reason I ask is because it looks a lot like water too.

Any water in gasoline is a pollutant (yes, even water can be a pollutant, although it is also a plant food) and shouldn't be there.

Gasoline and any other hydrocarbon mixture don’t mix with water
They float on water . So no there is no water in gasoline .

Its not water, if there is water then water has to be removed.
Gasoline will have liquid hydrocarbons having 5 to 6 carbon atoms like isomer of pentane and hexane which at ambient temperature and pressure will be liquid.
Diesel will have 9 to 25 Carbon atoms and starts boiling from 200degC at ambient pressure.
The other liquid fuel is Ethanol used widely in Brazil. This is an alcohol and not an hydrocarbon and ethanol is soluble in water and is liquid at ambient temperature.

Yes, i think it is dissolved in water. Water and Oil don't mix, but gasoline is completely different then oil
