It doesn't. It stops when the tank is full.

Assuming you are asking why the gas nozzle shuts off when the tank is full, I am not an engineer but I would guess that there is some type of pressure sensor in the nozzle that reads back pressure coming from the neck of the vehicle fuel tank and when that pressure reaches a certain point, it shuts the nozzle off.
