Stranded on the freeway twice in one month (fuel starvation)

If you begin to sputter in a long right hander, can you straighten out at low speed and kind of wiggle back and forth to slosh some gas back over

If you begin to sputter in a long right hander, can you straighten out at low speed and kind of wiggle back and forth to slosh some gas back over to the right side of the hump??? Coast to straight and reprime your right side fuel pump???

Also how much gas to get her running again? Could I carry a gallon or so around to avoid being stranded? I assume that the pump is on the right and so is the gas cap so a small amount of emergency gas would suffice.
