It's an MDL40.  Somewhere I saw it referred to as a forklift fuse, but I'm 
not so sure about that.  Here's the MDL range datasheet

As someone mentioned, MDL fuses are indeed only AC rated.  

BUT, notice that the MDL40 is not even listed on the datasheet.  The 
largest 
size is a 30 amp.  Something smells funny here, and I don't think it's 
overheating wiring.

The MDL40 IS listed here :

(I really get annoyed at these ludicrous URLs created by website content 
management systems.  What sane human would name a directory 
home_circuit_protectionproductsandaccessories?  Ah well, that's completely 
OT, sorry.)

Methinks I need to do some shopping around.
