I think the "right" way would be to have two pickups at each rear corner.
These
would feed two low pressure pumps which dump into a small sump (kind of like
a dry sump).  A third pump, at the appropriate pressure would then feed the
engine
from that tank.

For a simpler approach, a physical sump could be positioned at the
rear center of the tank, with a volume sufficient to feed the engine during
the
longest turn.

I had an oil pan with "mousetrap" doors that supposedly trapped oil near
the pickup.
I suppose this could be tried for the gas tank too.  It just seemed to me
the gas
could run right around the doors, reducing or eliminating their effectiveness.

Just my opinion,
