If you are wanting to capture the data into a table, you can create your table and then wrap it with a FUEL model (extending base_module_model) and use the form_fields method. So for example, you could create a controller to view and process the form similar to the following (using version 0.93):

class Register extends CI_Controller {

	function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct();
	}
	
	function index()
	{
		$this->load->library('form_builder');
		$this->load->model('register_model');

		if (!empty($_POST))
		{
			if ($this->register_model->save($_POST))
			{
				$this->session->set_flashdata('success', TRUE);
				redirect('register');
			}
		}
		
                //register_model should extend the Base_module_model class (http://www.getfuelcms.com/user_guide/libraries/base_module_model) 
		$fields = $this->register_model->form_fields();
		$this->form_builder->set_fields($fields);
		
		 // will set the values of the fields if there is an error... must be after set_fields
		$this->form_builder->set_field_values($_POST);
		$this->form_builder->display_errors = TRUE;

		// create a variable of $form to hold the rendered form output
		$vars['form'] = $this->form_builder->render();
		
		// use Fuel_page to render so it will grab all opt-in variables and do any necessary parsing

		// create a view file called "register.php" that contains a place to merge in the $form variable 
		$page_init = array('location' => 'register');
		$this->load->module_library(FUEL_FOLDER, 'fuel_page', $page_init);
		$this->fuel_page->add_variables($vars);
		$this->fuel_page->render();
	}
}
