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.
