A highway maintenance team travels by car along a north-south highway for inspection and maintenance. One morning, they depart from point $A$ and finally arrive at point $B$ in the evening. It is agreed that the north direction is positive. The day's travel records are as follows (unit: kilometers): +18.5, -9.3, +7, -14.7, +15.5, -6.8, -8.2. Please answer the following questions by calculation:
1. In which direction is point $B$ relative to point $A$, and how far apart are they in kilometers?
2. If the car consumes 8 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, and the fuel tank had 20 liters of fuel when they departed, how many liters of fuel are left in the tank when they arrive at point $B$ in the evening?
