Do all gas pumps shut off automatically?
Gas pumps are mechanically designed to automatically stop pumping gas as soon as the tank is full. The nozzle valve shuts automatically once the gasoline blocks the air in the Venturi tube.
Can’t fill gas tank pump off?
What this all means is that if you’re filling your tank and the pump keeps cutting off, something is blocking the little hole, preventing a flow of air through the pipe. Most commonly, the culprit is just some gasoline splashing back enough to block that hole momentarily, triggering the cutoff.
What happens if gas overflows at the pump?
Putting too much gas in the tank causes the fuel vapor recovery system to put the extra gas you just paid for back into the gas pump. There’s also a chance that the vapor recovery system is broken at the pump, causing gasoline to spill out of your car as well as the gas nozzle while overfilling.
Why does my gas Keep clicking when I turn it off?
Normally, air flows through that tube while you’re filling and the gas keeps flowing as long as you hold down on the trigger. When that hole gets covered by gasoline (when your tank is full), a vacuum forms inside the nozzle and an automatic shutoff switch gets tripped, turning off the flow of gas with a thunk.

Why did the gas not stop in my car?
The gas should not have run into any other areas, certainly not the engine compartment. The pump’s filter was probably so clogged that it caused an excessively slow flow, which did not cause the back-pressure needed to auto-stop the pump. I’d seriously question getting gas there in the future.
