Filling up again, could be a long ride? (9)
I believe the answer is:
reloading
'filling up again' is the definition.
('loading' is a kind of 'filling up' so perhaps 'reloading' is OK for 'filling up again')
'could be a long ride?' is the wordplay.
'could be' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'long'+'ride'='alongride'
'alongride' anagrammed gives 'RELOADING'.
(Another definition for reloading that I've seen is " charging again".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
