Fuel line return

I upsized my 5/16ths hose bib to 3/8ths using a step drill and then silver soldered in a 3/8ths steel hose bib. It works perfectly. I used a few pairs of small vice grip plyers to wick the heat away from the plastic sending unit feed to keep it from melting.
do u know the diff. between a hose bibb, and a hose barb ??
