I dunno if it qualifies as a "pintle cap" since it's a small (yellow?) cap that barely cover the tip?
The pintle cap I'm used to is a cover that covers the entire tip all the way up to the metal fuel injector body...
Anyways, yes, I pop that off and throw it away.
Some people will try and keep this cap - sorta - by shaving the edges so it fits in the holes - I don't like to bother with such trouble.
The key to making this whole thing work is you have to keep the "air bleed valves" that are stock to our engines.
This helps prop up the lower grommets in the holes properly.
