Burning of methane is:
CH4 + 2 O2---------- → CO2 + 2 H2O
Carbon monoxide is released after an incomplete
combustion.

What is the balanced equation for the incomplete combustion of heptene C7H14?
Complete combustion is easy. Incomplete combustion is trickier,
because there really isn't such a thing as the balanced
equation for that, there are several possible balanced equations
for that.

What is the equation for incomplete combustion?
You ask this as if all forms of incomplete combustion would be
described by the same equation; different fuels have different
equations for either complete or incomplete combustion. I will add
that it would be characteristic of many forms of incomplete
combustion that one of the combustion products is carbon
monoxide.

What is Chemical equation for fossil fuel burning?
The equation is specific to the fuel, but the general form
is:
Hydrogen + Carbon + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide (in complete
combustion) + Water.
The H and C are from the fuel; the O is from the atmosphere. If
combustion is incomplete CO rather than CO2 is produced.

Is combustion incomplete or complete 2C 2 H3 OH plus O2 - CO2 plus H20?
2C2H3OH + 5O2 --> 4CO2 + 4H2O
The equation as written appears to be complete combustion, but
in reality it probably would not be complete combustion. Usually
combustion is incomplete, producing other products such as carbon
monoxide and pure carbon (soot).
