How does the petrol pump know when my tank is full?

There appears to be some kind of sensor on the pump, but I still can’t understand how it can tell when the tank is full to turn the pump off

It’s not the exact same , but think how your toilet knows when to stop filling up the tank. Usually done with a Floating ball in a valve , when it reaches the top from floating up it will then cover the orface/valve.
