In the UK the filler nozzles have their catches removed so as to avoid this problem. Even pumps for diesel, though the explosion risk is almost non-existent. They may still exist on pumps dedicated to the really heavy stuff, where hundreds of litres are involved.

Virtually all filling stations are self-serve, but there's no unattended fuelling.
