Right Turn Stall; Engine Stalls on right turns

Here's a strange problem. After I fill my fuel tank when I drive and make a normal to quick right turn the engine stalls momentarily. Once it even stopped running and I pulled over and restarted it immediately. As I burn fuel and the fuel level goes down it happens less and less and once under a half tank it virtually stops stalling. Again, this is when I make right turns. No effects when going straight, stopping or making left turns. Any ideas?

Sorry, forgot to mention this is a 92 geo metro lsi. Manual three cylinder.

loosen your gas cap? Aprils car seems to run damn good when the cap is loose, when we tighten it, pressure builds up and for some reason it floods the evap bottle and causes the car to stall XD so we just leave the gas cap a tad loose

maybe something with the fuel pump wiring somehow being affected and the less gas the further away it is from it

I loosened the cap and so far it seems to work fine. Really strange. This problem just started about 3 tank fulls ago. I haven't changed anything during that time. Thanks for the help.
