I've been filling same was as .Cd.
Except .Cd didn't say how hard he squeezes the handle. I pump a bit on the slow side. I don't want a lot of splashing and a lot of fuel backing up into the filler neck.
First time it clicks off, I'm done. I figure there's more variation in trying to fill the neck manually than in trusting the auto shutoff. I try use the same pump all the time but of course can't always get it.
Pump handles (at least here in CT) have a "shoulder" you feel when squeezing. Squeezing is hard at first and all of a sudden gets easier. I squeeze just enough to get to that point and keep it there. Release it a bit to get on the other side of the shoulder and it pumps very slow, that's not for me.
