Something is wrong here... Don’t those pumps have back pressure trips?? I thought that was the reason for the trips... So the pump can’t do that...

—”Don’t those pumps have back pressure trips?”

Guessing the pump shuts off when the pressure increases?
As the gasoline rises up the filler neck, the pressure would increase with less volume in the neck?

This was in Chile, not the US, so no telling how their gasoline pumps are configured. I wouldn’t assume they are the same.

Yep, that was my reaction too. For some you can still pump if you manually retract the trip, like when you’re filling a gas tank for a lawn mower.
