I have read more than several times on this forum not to use the Fuses with Plastic Bodies (because sometimes the Plastic melts before the Fuse does); use the Ceramic bodied Fuses.
Next they recomend using only Fuses with Copper on them as the silver colored ones oxidize and create a resistance to current flow.

There is also othe Fuse issues due to the contact point; see pic. This Fuse looked good until I pulled it out.
