The main fuel of stars is the most fundamental element in the universe -- hydrogen. Most stars spend most of their lives fusing hydrogen into helium. Only later in life do they fuse helium into heavier elements, and continue to fuse lighter nuclei into the elements up through iron. (According to many scientists, nickel really does not "count" in this chain for reasons that require an understanding of nuclear physics.)
