How do liquid fuel rocket engines reignite in zero-g without destroying the turbopump? (fuel sloshing problem)

Hi! This is for You rocket engineers out here! From my (very limited) understanding, a big problem with reignition of a liquid-fuel rocket engine in space is the 'sloshing' of liquid within the tanks. When the engines are already fired it causes no issue, since the g-forces during acceleration keep the fuel at the 'bottom' of the tank, where the pump is.

But how is this risk, of the pumps running empty, mitigated during reignition? I can imagine you could give the rocket a "push" with reaction thrusters to force the fuel to the bottom of the tank and then start up the pumps, but I haven't managed to find any real literature addressing this problem.

If You know something about this I would be interested to hear Your take on it! Thank You!

Probably cheaper too! Maybe not. Can’t be bothered to do the math.

Saves you having to go buy some though and useful in a pinch.
