Fuse FL2 100amp

Hi all,
I've had a non starting td5 now for afew days, changed fuel filter, battery, crank sensor, etc.. starts on a can of bloody easy start then cuts out the min it burns that off..

Hanging my head in sheer upset over the battery tray, I noticed a fuse had popped..

A big 100amp screw down jobby. In the FL2 location... could this be the issue??

If starting a Td5 without functioning glow plugs is an issue, then Yes.
Fuse FL2 is associated with the glow plug relay, but I expect u know that.

The question is why did the fuse blow?

TD5s in most weathers, certainly the summer, start without need for glowplugs.
If you supply it with fuel, i.e. "Easystart" and it runs until you stop supplying it, it looks strongly like a fuel supply problem.
Which raises unfortunately a whole pile of possibilities.
