It is just protons joining together, which are hydrogen ions, so the only fuel required is hydrogen, the reaction proceeds due to the high pressure at the sun's core, due to the immense gravitational compression. See the link below

Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
Nuclear fusion powers the Sun. What elemnts in the sun are fused together in the sun?
Hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium and energy.
Can atoms of different elements can join to form larger atoms?
Yes. Atoms can combine to form larger atoms in a process called nuclear fusion. This is what powers the sun.
What are the chemical principles of nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the combining (fusion) of two or more nuclear units to form a heavier nuclear unit. Fusion is the mechanism that powers up the sun and other stars. The energies required to initiate fusion are almost unimaginable. More particulars can be found by using the link below.
Where in the universe does fusion occur naturally?
Nuclear fusion is the process that powers stars, such as our sun.
When nuclei joins together such on the sun?
I think you mean nuclear fusion, the reaction that powers the sun.
What process powers a star?
nuclear fusion
Does fusion powers many of your nuclear power plants?
Nuclear fusion is used only in experimental installations.
What is the name of the nuclear force that powers stars?
Fusion.
What are powers stars?
Stars are powered by nuclear fusion
Nuclear fusion powers the Sun. What elemnts in the sun are fused together in the sun?
Hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium and energy.
What energy powers stars throughout life?
Nuclear fusion. Mainly, converting hydrogen-1 to helium-4.
If you added a proton to hydrogen what do you now have?
This is a fusion process, the nuclear reaction that powers our Sun. Hydrogen and hydrogen isotopes come together to make helium

What energy powers a star through its life?
Nuclear fusion energy powers the stars. The process is mainly converting hydrogen-1 into helium-4, and to a lesser extent, converting helium-4 into heavier elements.
Do fusion powers nuclear reactors?
No. Our reactors are fission reactors. We haven't yet mastered fusion reactors for power.
