It does not stop the pump - it stops the fuel flow. And be advised that they don't always work. never leave your vehicle while it is being refuelled.

Next time you are at the petrol station take a quick look at the end of the pump nozzle, as well as the big hole that the petrol is obviously pumped out through there is a second smaller hole. When the petrol you are pumping into the tank gets close to the top of the tank and reaches the tip of the nozzle it covers over this second smaller hole which activates a vacuum cut out switch and that is what stops the pump from pumping anymore petrol.
