<p>[quote user="Murphy Siding"]Does oil float? I seem to recall seing pictures of ocean oil spills where big boom nets of some sort were put around an oil spill to contain it. [/quote]</p> <p>Most crude oils do. There are some South American crudes that have the same density as water. And there are some Marine Heavy Fuel oils (residual oils) that are slightly heavier than water.</p> <p>Waves can always mix water and oil distribution oil over some hight. Oil dispersants support this process letting the oil drops sink.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
