Is it possible to reset the ECU by pulling a fuse instead of disconnecting the battery? I know this is possible on the mk2.5 Focus (KAM fuse)

I'm trying out some different fuel hence the ECU reset

    The ecu isn't the only controller of the engine although it is the main but what about all the other sensors? They would not have been reset? Control models for sensors etc?

    I agree, I dont believe you would get the same effect. All the other modules (BCM, CCM, ABS, ESP, SRS etc) will still have information and it wont give you a "clean start".
