Unless its a different kind of screwdriver, no. the offset would have to be about
40 degrees, which makes it difficult to turn. I only have about an inch and
a quarter between the head of the screw and the filler pipe., and its recessed.
If I can't get the filler pipe off, I am looking for a small universal joint
that will take a flat head bit.

For that sort of thing, I generally use a hex-head screwdriver tip that is
about 3/4 inch long (tip from a multi-tip screwdriver), and a 1/4 inch
boxend wrench to turn it. You might have to bend the handle of the wrench a
little.

Vacuum pumps are generally vane pumps designed for large volume that the
instruments they power require. Lab vacuum pumps are designed to evacuate
air from small volumes.
Running shouldn't hurt but I'd put a filter on the intake end to keep grit
out.
