Fuel has to break down chemically or you would end up with the same thing afterwards. Right? As far as I know all fuels are hydrocarbons and when mixed with oxygen it will create CO2 and H2O.

It will also yield carbon which is the black stuff. If an engine were to get the right amount of oxygen then you could sit in a shed with a car running without having to worry about carbon monoxide poisoning. You would run out of oxygen though. Yes it would make sense that it would pull better at night due to air having a higher density which would mean more oxygen. Now that I think of it why can't the re arrange the whole thing, minus the oxygen and get fuel again? All of the atoms are still there just in different molecular compounds
