There are four "chambers" as shown below.

Under straight line acceleration, the fluid will collect toward the rear and the pickup is in the rear, so no problem there.

Under lateral/cornering g-forces, the fluid on the sides must flow through the rear pickup chamber to get from one side to the other. The holes between the chambers are not big, so flow rate from one side of the reservoir to the other takes a long time.
