There should be no difference between two 20-amp fuses. A 20-amp fuse is designed to handle up to 20 amps of current before blowing, so as long as both fuses are properly rated for 20 amps, they should have the same functionality and performance. However, it's important to consider the quality and reliability of the manufacturer when choosing fuses to ensure they meet safety standards.

Can you replace a 20 amp fuse in your car with a 25 amp due to the fuse keep blowing?
Yes you can but you are setting yourself up for a big problem. There is a reason the 20 amp fuse is blowing. By installing a bigger fuse it allows the current that is causing the 20 amp fuse to blow to stay in for a longer period of time. This can cause excessive heating and melting of the wires on the circuit that is blowing on a 20 amp fuse. Trace the wire and find the fault. Always use the manufacturer's recommended fuse sizing for your own protection.
Can you use 20 Amp with 250 Volt Fuse instead of 18 Amp with 250 Volts fuse in microwave?
Only if you want to blow up the microwave. That will let 20 amps go through before the fuse blows when the manufacture is telling you 18 amps max. <<>> Yes, you can use the 20 amp fuse. At 250 volts 2 amps is no problem and you are not going to blow up the microwave. On a fault current the 20 amp fuse will trip just as fast as an 18 amp fuse.

You can use the wire rated for 20 amps on a 15 amp receptacle but you can not use a 20 amp fuse on any device rated at 15 amps. This is a tricky part of the code about receptacle outlets, You can use a 15 amp duplex outlet on a 20 amp circuit. (duplex outlet two devices can plug in) If it is a single outlet then the outlet must be rated 20 amp. NEC table210.21(B)(3). ============ A 15 amp duplex receptacle can be wired to a 20 amp rated circuit. This means the breaker OR fuse protecting the circuit can be rated 20 amps if the wire is also rated at 20 amps (12 AWG). --Sparkfighter

If your fuse box supports 20 amp fuses can you replace one current 15 amp fuse with a 20 amp fuse?
The purpose of a fuse it to protect the wire that goes to the load. A 15 amp fuse protects a #14 gauge wire. A 20 amp fuse protects a #12 gauge wire. To answer your question if the wire size is #12 coming from the 15 amp fuse now then it can be upped to 20 amp fuse. If it isn't then you are taking the risk of overloading the #14 wire with a 20 amp fuse. This can lead to insulation failure of the #14 wire, overheating with the possible outcome of a fire breaking out somewhere in the circuit.
