# 10 wire is rated at 30 amps. Code states the the wire is only to be loaded to 80%. 80% of 30 = 24 amps. If distance is a factor then the resistance of the wire comes into play. Go up one size to #8 rated at 40 amps, usable 32 amps.

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.
