The little lever in the handle where the trigger is. Pull that up and keep it held up with your thumb or a finger. THEN squeeze the trigger. The petrol will flow uninterrupted.

The pump has an overflow sensor that'll cut out if it thinks you overfilled the tank.

If it cuts out, just pull the pump out an inch and it'll work.
