4.2 TDI Filler neck insert - drives me nuts

[overboost]

For the first time I have a TDI I can't fill it up quickly without squirting diesel all over the place.
It seems there is an insert in the filler neck, mainly to prevent gasoline to be put in instead of the cheap stuff. On the downside it seems to prevent me from filling up tidy & time efficient.

Is there an easy way to remove the bugger ? Me & my wife know to select diesel at the pump.
