Blow gasket in boozer up town (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erupt

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

'blow gasket' is the definition.
'erupt' can be an answer for 'blow' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'gasket' bit.

'in boozer up town' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ERUPT' can be found hidden inside 'boozer up town'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for erupt that I've seen before include "Blow up like volcano" , "suddenly burst out" , "Eject lava" , "Break out like Etna" , "Spurt lava" .)
