Hydrogen is the only combustible element, other elements, need an interaction with "something else" other than its self to be combustible.

Therefore Hydrogen is the only "fuel". Fuel such as gasoline have bonds to Hydrogen that bulk it up, slow it down, and generally make Hydrogen dense.

No specific element makes anything flammable, as many elements can result in fire or an explosion; many can be safe when used one way and dangerous in another.

The only element necessary for a flammable object to ignite is oxygen.

All alkali metals (group I) will all explode (catch fire) when they come into contact with water. The explosivity of the metals increases down the group all the way to francium. No alkali metal is found as a free element; they are too reactive. If samples are extracted, they are usually stored in kerosene to prevent them from reacting with the vapor in the air.
