Many gas pumps have an automatic shutoff that engages if the pump nozzle detects that it's not firmly and fully inserted or if it detects that the tip of the nozzle has become submerged. This prevents pumping gas out on the ground or overfilling the tank.

Assuming you've got it inserted properly, this can happen if the pump is filling the fill tube faster than it can drain into the tank. You may have better results by not compressing the handle fully so that the gas pumps at a slightly lower rate that your fill tube can keep up with.
