If you immediately get out of the car and grab the filler nozzle handle be sure to touch some metal somewhere to discharge the static electricity you got sliding off your seat when you got out BEFORE you open the cap.
After you SLOWLY take the cap off the filler neck, put the nozzle fully into the neck and start filling up. When you hear/feel the click of the nozzle shutting off, wait a few more seconds for the last of the petrol to run out, then slowly pull the nozzle out and turn the machine off. Never try to fill the tank up to the brim as the tank needs some expansion room when the petrol warms up, especially on a hot day. The filler neck is part of the room it needs. It could leak out the cap. Don't forget to put the cap back on the car before you go to pay or leave.
Be extremely careful if you haven't used a particular pump before as some filler nozzles may not have a working automatic handle shutoff. Always stand to the side and if the petrol starts gushing out of the filler neck just release the handle and stand back.
