'fuel' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'test old bag maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'test'+'old'+'bag'='testoldbag'
'testoldbag' with letters rearranged gives 'BOTTLED GAS'.

'for' acts as a link.
