Default Fuel Line - Standard vs Metric

So I'm looking at getting my high flow fuel set up ordered. I got the 3/16 tank kit from BVM. However, the air traps I'm looking at, and probably everything else in the fuel setup, is metric. What size barbs are compatible with 3/16 tubing? Or, conversely, what size tubing would be compatible with a 3/16 barb?

Thanks!

4MM fuel line will have to be stretched to fit over the 3/16th barb.
