Fuel surge. What corners? Left or right? How much fuel in the tank when it happens?

Had a similar problem on a Sierra Cosworth a few years ago. After much aggro turned out someone had fitted a standard fuel tank to it (i.e. No Swirl Pot) so it had fuel cut on cornering hard even with plenty of fuel! 'Bout my luck that!!
