I imagine the problem can be solved by looking into the inventory of Aircraft appli
applications under fuel tanks.  I know for many smaller aircraft,  this problem
is avoided by having the fuel feeders be on flex hose, with a little
pendular mass.   normally, they hang about 1" off the tank bottom, but during
severe manuevers they roll with the fluid body.
now granted this may be a little tougher with cryogenics, but i am sure
some sort of engineered flex could be bobbed in there.
