as my understanding goes the fuel pemp is in a swirl pot (small tank inside fuel tank)
and this helps the pump always have fuel to suck up
when the pot or parts associated with it become old and damaged (like big reverse onto car park hump hitting tank)
the fuel doesnt stay in the swirl pot at correct level and around especially harsh corners fast the pump sucks air instead of fuel
car dies in the but and then comes good when straight as fuel is back into swirl pot
this fault would be WORSE with a low level amount of fuel in the tank
