Default Fuel Gauge goes down when i turn right? (lol)

as wierd as that sounds, that is what happens.

i have a 94 ex coupe (ej1) with about 127k miles on it.

im getting good mpg. but whenever the car is moving and i turn right, the fuel gauge starts to go down slowly (and even slower going back up when i drive straight)

anyone know why this could be happening? i dont know if it could be the fuel sending unit or the wiring messed up by the steering column.

thanks for any replies.

the fuel sensor is on the right side of the gas tank (when viewed from the rear) so when u turn right the fuel moves to the left of the tank due to the momentum

I use that phenomenon to guess how many G forces I am pulling when I take exit ramps!
