I am working with a Proprietorship firm. If we reimburse the amount of fuel used by proprietor, should we book this exp or to be deducted from the Capital.

From the language of the question; it seems that the expenditure is in connection with the business. If petrol expenses are used for business purpose; then it is entirely revenue in nature and thereby allowable expenditure. Hence not to be debited to capital.
However; if fuel expenses is used for personal purposes; then it will be debited to capital account.
