Re: fuel line wall thinkness?
Why so big? 5/8 is enormous! 3/8 is usually fine for 500hp or so, and 1/2" is good to quite a bit more...

Re: fuel line wall thinkness?
Depends on the hard line. I would guess it's .049" wall.
Who's supplying the hard line? I found it's not very common (that size). Benders, fittings, etc are harder to find.
