Hmm, can you
take the end-caps off and fit the wire from a 13A fuse into a 3A

You probably can, but IMHO a fuse that does not blow at the current you'd
expect it to blow at is downright dangerous. It's going to end up
somwhere you don't expect, and the results of it not blowing could be
very nasty.
Yes, I agree totally. I was hoping that the smiley was enough to convey
sufficient sarcasm, but maybe I should have added a second one :-)
(On the other hand, the equipment only exists to protect the fuse, so
logically things will last longer if a more robust fuse is fitted*)
