I know the Amps it needs..
What do the rest of the fuses look like? You don't want the glass tube ones. You want the ceramic body Euro type as seen in the picutre below:



You can order a bunch by clicking on the Fastlane or All Parts Express links above. Here is the All Parts link:

If you need one now, you can probably find the plastic bodied version at your local parts store, but do yourself a favor and order some creamic ones and replace all the old one in there. I won't cost much and it will potentially save you a headache in the future.
