I gotta disagree here John. The forces applied to the fuel in a slipping airplane would be no different than the forces applied to the human flying it. If you're slipping, do you find yourself forced up against the side wall? No! The force causing the slip will only momentarily cause any side thrust. Once the plane is stable, be it in straight and level flight, or in a slip, everything inside the plane, fuel included, will be in a neutral state.
