OF is of course correct - there are baffle plates and tank dividers - BUT assuming the turn is 'balanced' there is no reason why the fuel should move anywhere! As far as the fuel in the tanks is concerned the a/c is effectively flying level when it is turning, if that makes sense.

If, however, you flew along with bank on (but not turning) the fuel would tend to flow downhill, but not many of us do that.
