Why do gas pumps stop automatically?
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.

What happens when the alternator goes bad in a Kia Optima?
If the alternator goes bad, the vehicle will run off of the power supply in the battery (which is there mostly for starting the vehicle and as a backup reserve). Once the battery has been depleted, the ignition system will no longer be able to fire properly. You should see either a battery light or alternator light long before the engine dies.
