CO
The general equation for combustion is: ACxHy + BO2 --> CCO2 + DH20 Sometimes when a product does not burn efficiently CO is produced.
reactants ---> products
Mainly CO2 and H2O - Carbon Dioxide and Water. (Also heat, depending on if you are including it or not.) This can also be shown as an equation: Fuel + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water (and heat)
reactants -----> products is correct

The arrow between the reactants and products in a chemical equation represents the direction of the chemical reaction. It indicates that the reactants are being transformed into the products.
The waste products of combustion leave the internal combustion engine through the exhaust valve.
Mass of reactants (at the right) is equal to the mass of products at the left.
The reactants are CH4, O2 and the products are CO2, H2O. CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
The products of the hydrocarbon combustion are water and carbon dioxide.
Assuming you have given a complete equation, no. It requires oxygen as a reactant and will always have CO2 and H2O as products. Plus, combustion reactions typically involve carbon based elements as reactants.
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).
