RE: Fuses are supposed to blow out to protect equip. How

Yes, pure water.....in my experience DeIonized is indeed non-conductive. Too bad it won't be that was after sticking it in a fuse. DI water has resistivity measured in Megaohms.

Not only that......but the water or whatever, may soak enough heat away to substantially change the fuses 'blow' characteristics.

If you're nutty enough to believe in fuse microphonics, at least try a standard ceramic fuse before spending the big bucks on liquid filled fuses.
Too much is never enough
