1) Running fuel pump to remove water from tank will likely not empty it all, but it might help. Will still be some liquid in bottom of tank.
2) More than likely, the gas has gummed up and is no good, While your draining of the tank will help, may still need to change the fuel filter and clean the injectors. The ability to keep engine running while pouring into the intake is a good sign, but mayfind that more parts need to be cleaned and replaced prior to solving the problem.
Small puff of smoke on startup - intermittent
I have seen this on old cars, my suspicion is that the seals on the valves are a bit worn. This allows some oil to get through during start up. Since it quits smoking, I would not be overly concerned. However, since it burns a quart every 1-2K miles, I am curious what the compression is. My Fiero does the same thing (occasional puff of smoke on start up) but does not need oil between 3,000 mile chages. It is a 2.5 liter. Here is nice tip: check compression on all cylinders, then recheck it adding a teaspoon of 2 cycle oil to the cylinders (one cylinder at a time). Some have said to use conventional oil for this, due to higher viscosity, but I always thought it might foul the spark plugs. If the compression goes up, it is ring wear, if not it is leaking through the valves.
