Q2: Before I warm the car up to drain the oil I want to replace the gas that has been in there for about 3 years now. I have a small pump that attaches to a drill can I just feed a tube into the gas tank and pump out the fuel? If so how long of a tube should I use? Also how many gallons do you think is in the 87' 911 Turbo if the gas gauge reads 1/2 a tank? To give me an idea of how much storage I will need for that much gas.

Thanks!
The Sears model will suffice. Try to buy a wrench that will suit most of your needs.
I would not recommend using a drill motor and pump system for draining the remaining fuel in your tank. Sparks emitted from the brushes on the armature of the drill motor and fuel fumes usually do not mix well...Unless by mixing well, the desired results is an explosion.
