fuel imbalance issue

Why would a plane need to do a couple of 360’ turns on the taxi way/run-up area. The crew were given clearance to taxi and hold. They told the tower they needed to turn the plane 360’ and were cleared. When they asked for a second 360 they said they were trying to resolve a fuel imbalance issue. I think this was a Gulfstream. What was going on with this.
