I am a Ford man and have been all my life. I recently purchased a 2006 Ford Escape, upon attempting to fuel the car, fuel spews back up the filler tube shutting down the gas flow thus resulting in an hour fill up time...help

When I went to put in fuel, the pump kept shutting off like the tank was full. It was 15 degrees F. outside, and it took me 10 minutes to get 1/2 tank. I had to watch constantly because at one point, fuel started spewing out of the tank, but the tank was not full. My mechanic worked on it, and I hope it will be o.k. I really don't feel good about having my car regurgitate gasoline.
