12 year old daughter asked why water would not power petrol engine but I had little answer.

Please what's the technology that makes petrol power such engine and not water or kerosine even?

Thanks

Check you tube but before then you have to explain the meaning of combustion from there she'll understand why water is not used then show her the video on you tube.

Because petrol is highly flammable compared to water, making it major source of energy for petrol engine. For your car to start you need spark plug to produce spark, petrol and air to sustain the fire that produces movement.
