fuel tap and fittings

hi all, im looking at getting a couple of fuel taps for the m20, im a bit confused with the size of the nuts on the fuel pipe to the size tap i need.
i have the adaptors for the tank, 3/8 by i think 1/8, so i know one fitting of the tap should be 1/8, but im not sure what the pipe fitting should be, the pipe i have is a nos from henk, the carb fitting end is i spoes 1/4 and the other two are smaller, could the fittings be 7/16?
am i making any sense??
thanks barry

Re: fuel tap and fittings

You can check against Draganfly’s website but I think the setup goes like this for WDM20’s:

The petrol tank has a 3/8” BSP female thread, into which screws an adaptor (preferably incorporating a mesh filter). The other end of the adaptor has a 1/4” BSP female thread, into which screws the petrol tap. The other end of the tap has a 3/16” BSP male thread, onto which screws the fitting on the end of the copper petrol pipe. And there’s 2 of everything! An amazingly complex arrangement for such a simple job, IMHO.
