Heard a .22 cartridge works in a pinch 

 :bigsmile:Wonder what would happen in a short circuit (high heat) situation?

I was in Canadian Tire looking for glass fuses , they had a good selection but the only way to get 6 20 amp fuses was to buy the assortment pack with 1 of each of 5,10 , 15 ,20 25 & 30 , the didn`thave a single pack of 5-20a fuses even listed

Have you seen the Mythbusters episode?  The .22 round explodes instantly (I think they put it on the horn or headlight circuit).

I hadn't even heard of that episode. I'll have to look for on reruns. I liked the 'fish in a barrel' and under water shooting episodes.

CP, I have lots of 20's. If they are tough to get out west, pm me your addy and I'll send you some.

I saw a blurb in a magazine for adapters that take blade-style fuses and plug into the glass type sockets. Wish I could remember WHERE I saw it!
