Fuel to run a pet (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peat

'fuel' is the definition.
(peat is a kind of fuel)

'run a pet' is the wordplay.
'run' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'pet'='apet'
'apet' with letters rearranged gives 'PEAT'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for peat that I've seen before include "Form of fuel" , "load of stuff in the garden?" , "Fuel cut from bog" , "Fuel dug from bog" , "Saturated and compressed vegetable matter, used as fuel when dried out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
