open them right up, they are spacers. If you don't, the fuel will pool in the bottom of the cap, and come out in a trickle rarther than a mist .If it fails to atomise correctly, it will make your car run like shit

take them out and check them Steve, you should cut/drill the end out to help spray pattern.

Had the injectors out this morning and EA had not modified the caps

The caps have now had the ends cut off and i must say the car does seem smoother
