Its a comon problem with EG's. Are you noticing it when your taking sharp turns, or on on ramps etc.

You tank is about 45L so go by that, instead of the gauge.

it is just fuel swishing around in the tank (its a fluid and responds to changes in motion rather quickly)

It is a common "problem". I notice it on my 99 too when i'm accelerating on highway ramps and such.

You could slow it down by slowing the response time of the metering circuit, but that is just too much work.
