Say again about fuel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repeat

'say again' is the definition.
(I know that say is a type of recite)

'about fuel' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'fuel' becomes 'peat' (peat is a kind of fuel).
're'+'peat'='REPEAT'

(Other definitions for repeat that I've seen before include "Go over" , "Divulge" , "Reiterate" , "Say again, or burp" , "Say, do or occur again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
