It would depend on the fuel and whether combustion is complete or not. For typical hydrocarbon fuels (e.g., natural gas, propane, gasoline, etc.) the products of complete combustion are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

However, if combustion is not complete, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) will also be produced. In addition, depending on the fuel (whether it has sulfur or not), oxides of sulfur (SOx) may be produced. Finally, oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are also usually produced, particularly in vehicle engines.
