I've been burned enough times with pumps with a broken kickoff so I don't leave the nozzle unattended.
Mine will often kick off sooner if I pump faster. And pumps have such wide variations in speeds, so what I do is try to pump about .1 gallon per second, just imagine a clock ticking. That way I get the most consistent fill I can. I also make an educated guess as to what it's going to take to fill the tank, and listen for the gas to start gurgling as it gets full. That way if the kickoff is broken, I can avoid spillage. Sometimes it still fails me because some noisy vehicle will fire up as I am getting ready to finish.
