A cheap torque wrench will do. A 3/8" one would be more accurate for this job, but a 1/2" torque wrench would probably have more uses and it is capable of adequate accuracy in the same range. You would use that, to torque your lugnuts too. Something a 3/8" would struggle with or be out of range.
Make sure you have the right size socket in 1/2" or an adapter to reduce the size.
The easiest way to empty your fuel tank is to siphon it. All you need is a long hose. You feed the other end into the tank, all the way to the bottom. The other end must reach the ground, i.e. lower than the fueltank itself. That's where you place your drain pan. Now all you need to do is suck at the hose, and wait for fuel to start coming out. I would recommend a clear hose so you see the fuel whjen it starts running down, so you can stop sucking before you get any in your mouth.
Once you get the fuel flowing out once, it will keep draining on it's own until the tank end sucks in air, or the outside end is lifted above the fuel level in the tank.
