I think foam is a good answer here as compared to foam because suppose fire is not on a horizontal surface then how foam could work upon petroleum fire.

Powder as well as foam both cam be the answer because as a powder form it is used as chemical powder which has specific properties. And as foam it is also used as it decreases oxygen supply to great extent.
