If you were to look down inside the tube the fuel comes out of (be careful not to spray yourself with gas) you'll notice a small tube inside the larger tube. That smaller tube detects pressure. Ordinarily, as fuel passes the tube a small vaccuum is created but when the fuel level reaches the top some fuel is pushed into the smaller tube resulting in a positive pressure. This change shuts off the fuel.

A backup occurs in the gas hose and it triggers a valve to shut off the pump. All this happens in about an eighth of a second.

there's a little man inside and he pushes the button on the pump to let you know when it is full LOL
