Best Answer

A hydrocarbon fuel burnt in an atmosphere with sufficient oxygen will create water and carbon dioxide, i.e. both the hydrogen atoms and carbon atoms in the fuel combine with two oxygen atoms.

However if there is not enough oxygen available the carbon atoms will form a double bond with a single oxygen atom forming carbon monoxide.

carbon monoxide can be made by the incomplete combustion of petrol or anyother hydrocarbon. It can be produced by an engine when there is a lack of air supply.
