I believe the answer is:

elbows

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bent pipes fitted' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in fuel bowser' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ELBOWS' can be found hidden inside 'fuel bowser'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elbows that I've seen before include "Nudges" , "Bend them and have a few drink" , "Arm-joints" , "Jostles" , "They make a point of jostling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
