Why does my engine die when i take a sharp corner?

Am I the only one that experiences this?
It's in my 81 500slc

I had this happen with my '87 560SL. It turned out to be a fuel pump problem. I ended up having both pumps and the filter replaced.

Odd, It's a brand new pump and filter. I thought there may be crap in the tank that is swishing from one side to another.

when did the rollover protection for shutting off fuel delivery start? I know the 83 had it
Could it be that circuit - just a guess

When the tank is low on my '82, it will do this on a sharp right turn. As long as it's above 1/4 full it doesn't. I suspect the fuel is just sloshing away from the tank pickup screen.
