Sounding pleased to get one during fuel crisis? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tankful
'fuel crisis?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'sounding pleased to get one during' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tankful that I've seen before include "load of fuel" , "Full load of petrol" .)
