How do I know when my gas pump is done?

How do gas pumps know when to stop filling?
Near the tip of the nozzle is a small tube that leads back to an air diaphragm in the handle of the pump. When you first start pumping gas, the diaphragm is all puffed up and inflated, and air is flowing through the small tube. Once the diaphragm decreases in size, it triggers the automatic shutoff within the nozzle.
Do gas pumps stop filling automatically?

When taking gas cap off give it a few seconds for the pressure to escape from the tank.

Sometimes you have to press the rubber down when it is cold out.
