That was definitely a nozzle problem. It should have shut off as soon as fuel reached the tip of the nozzle. The station should be notified; if they don't fix it pronto, they will be in deep doodoo with [at least] the local fire authorities. As someone else mentioned, you might get them to give you a cleaning, as proper functioning of the fuel delivery system is their responsibility. If they don't, invest in a giant sack of activated charcoal for the interior; it might keep you from igniting accidentally!
