Surge tank?

"To convert some carbureted vehicles to EFI, we recommend fitting a
fuel surge tank to avoid fuel feed problems, especially during hard
cornering. This is also useful on many stock EFI cars which have
poorly baffled tanks. The surge tank stores a small amount of fuel for
the high pressure pump to pick up if flow from the main tank is
interrupted for any reason."
