I combined yeast, sugar, and water in a cup and stirred it. Could it be used as a fuel? Fermentation was begginning to happen.

As a fuel for what? But no, probably not.

I think, the gas it is producing is carbon dioxicide. It is NOT flamable..... If you ferment enough, the liquid will become alcohol, but then the concentration is not nearly enough to make it a fuel. For it, you have to distill the product.
By the way, don't do this without adult supervision.

take the substance outside and see if it will become flamable (you may have to add a little spark) and then if it does i think you may have a substance that can be used as a fuel! because the fuel that is put in cars is ignited inside of it which...blah blah blah, i think ya'll know all of it...lol

yes, but it would be extremely ineffective.
