Fuel is any material that stores energy that can later be extracted to perform mechanical work in a controlled manner. Most fuels used by humans undergo combustion, a redox reaction in which a combustible substance releases energy after it ignites and reacts with the oxygen in the air. Other processes used to convert fuel into energy include various other exothermic chemical reactions and nuclear reactions, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. Fuels are also used in the cells of organisms in a process known as cellular respiration, where organic molecules are oxidized to release usable energy. Hydrocarbons are by far the most common source of fuel used by humans, but many other substances, such as radioactive metals, are currently used as well .
Chemical fuels are substances that release energy by reacting with substances around them, most notably by the process of oxidation.
Biofuel can be broadly defined as solid, liquid, or gas fuel consisting of, or derived from biomass. Biomass can also be used directly for heating or power—known as biomass fuel. Biofuel can be produced from any carbon source that can be replenished rapidly e.g. plants. Many different plants and plant-derived materials are used for biofuel manufacture.
Gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Turn on, I see red
Adrenaline crash and crack my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red
A hundred plus through black and whites, ha, ha
War horse, warhead
Fuck 'em man, white knuckle tight
Through black and white
Ooh, and I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burnin' hard, loose and clean
And I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire, hey
Yeah
Hey, turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out hope
Burn your face upon that chrome
Yeah
Take the corner, going to crash
Headlights, head on, headlines
Another junkie lives too fast
Yeah, lives way too fast, fast, fast, woh
Ooh, and I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burnin' hard, loose and clean
Ooh, and I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
So gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Ooh, yeah, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey
Feel it burning
Burn my fuckin' pain
Ooh, I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burnin' hard, loose and clean
Then I burn
Turning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline
Gimme fuel, gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire, yeah
