Combustion = Heat, Oxygen and Fuel. Assuming you have enough Fuel (the hydrocarbon), and you have an adequate spark/source of heat, you need sufficient Oxygen to get it to burn completely (which I assume is what you mean for properly).

An example is a Bunsen Burner. With the hole at the bottom fully open, plenty of air gets in, and the flame burns very blue and hot, with no yellow or soot, and (pretty much) complete combustion - meaning only CO2 and H2O products.

If you close the hole partially or completely, less air (oxygen) makes it to the flame, and it burns with more Yellow, leaving soot on anything you put in the flame, and producing much CO.

Why is it usually difficult to burn different hydrocarbon fuels efficiently in the same appliance?

It is difficult to burn different hydrocarbon fuels efficiently in the same appliance because different fuels have varying compositions, burning temperatures, and combustion characteristics. This can make it challenging to optimize combustion conditions, such as air-to-fuel ratios and flame stability, to achieve efficient and complete combustion across multiple fuel types.
