Best Answer

Assuming you're talking about the fuel shut-off mechanism that triggers when your tank is full - the pump nozzle is fitted with a sensor that detects when fuel is 'backing up' rather than flowing properly. The device shuts off the valve delivering the fuel from the nozzle - to prevent it spilling over the car and forecourt.

call your natural gas co. and ask. Natural gas is not something that the novice should be doing. And there are regulations with the kind of system you have in your community. SAFETY IS A GOOD THING.
