Fuse values

How can I determina fulse value in amps and type by looking at the fuse itself. The 5/20mm ones are hard to read.

Use a magnifying glass, if necessary. Here's a link explaining what to look for. Most fuses I've seen do not have spaces in the codes as shown in the examples. A fuse beginning with a capital T is a slow-blow. T stands for Time Delay. A fast blow fuse begins with a capital F, which stands for Fast Acting.
