Fuel found in a boiler (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oil

'fuel' is the definition.
(oil is a type of fuel)

'in a boiler' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'OIL' is hidden within 'boiler'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for oil that I've seen before include "Lubricant or petroleum" , "Slippery liquid" , "Liquid gold" , "Greasy liquid" , "What can be extracted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
