Yes, two silicon diodes back to back are essentially a piece of wire with a 0.7 volt drop. Large AC solid state relays are made with two SCR's back to back as Triacs aren't made much over 10 amps.
But this is getting ridiculous. We are all worried about how pure a fuse wire is yet we propose to put a known and measurable voltage drop in the path?
Also keep in mind a diode has a current limit. Putting a 1N4007 in series with say a 5 amp fuse is going to be a problem!
