End fuel blending, that's necessary (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

needful

'necessary' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'end fuel blending' is the wordplay.
'blending' indicates an anagram (letters blended or mixed into a new form).
'end'+'fuel'='endfuel'
'endfuel' is an anagram of 'NEEDFUL'.

'that's' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for needful that I've seen before include "poor" , "Poverty-stricken" , "Required" , "Necessary for nude elf" , "Indispensable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
