The rubber ring needs to be depressed to allow the gas to flow. I need to do this by hand an my BMW motorcycle and my hot rods here in California. I just pull the ring back and squeeze the lever then watch and listen as the tank fills. You can hear the change in sound as the tank get close to full so it doesn't overflow. Hope that helps

Not all pumps have the rings on them like in California, but will soon change as you have experienced. The release of gas fumes is what they are trying to prevent by having a total seal before you can pump gas.
