Happened to me last night when I was filling the tank.

If you shove the nozzle into the tank in an odd way, the backsplash from the gas will trigger the automatic cutoff mechanism built into the nozzle to prevent overflow and spillage. Gas pressure built up in the tank could sometimes cause that to happen, as well.
