Undercharge daughter for fuel (4)

I believe the answer is:

feed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for fuel' is the definition.
(as in fuelling or feeding a fire)

'undercharge daughter' is the wordplay.
'undercharge' becomes 'fee' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'fee'+'d'='FEED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for feed that I've seen before include "Paid" , "comedian's assistant" , "Eat; pass (a ball) to another player" , "forage" , "Straight man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
