Furnace and boiler boiling over! Run away (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oil burner

'furnace' is the definition.
(oil burner is a kind of furnace)

'boiler boiling over run away' is the wordplay.
'boiling' is an anagram indicator.
'over' is an insertion indicator.
'away' indicates anagramming the letters (letters move away from their original places).
'boiler' is an anagram of 'oilber'.
'run' is an anagram of 'urn'.
'oilber' going around 'urn' is 'OIL-BURNER'.

'and' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
