Not quite. You're thinking of the circuit breakers which are inserted into the main breaker box. The question was about the single action fuses which are plugged directly into the Spike relays, from IFI.

In regard to the original question, if it fits, and it's rated at 20 amps, there shouldn't be any problem with it. You can usually find these at Radio Shack (that's where I've gotten them, anyway), but I don't doubt that you can find them at an auto parts store.
