Is incomplete combustion a wastage of fuel? if yes, how?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Incomplete combustion will occur when there is not enough oxygen to allow the fuel to react completely to produce carbon dioxide and water. It also happens when the combustion is quenched by a heat sink, such as a solid surface or flame trap.

Answer 2

Incomplete combustion leads to emittance of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, volatile organic compounds, thus depleting the ozone layer of the Earth

Fossil fuels typically burn incompletely releasing detrimental byproducts into the atmosphere, including evaporated or unburned fuel.

Thus the purpose of combustion in such case is a waste of fuel.
