The fuel entrance/air escape? Is that what you're talking about?

Seriously, it's the fuel filler. I saw a good diagram of one once, and some show that explained, in detail, just how it works. Fuel is dumped from the gravity can into one hole at an enormous rate; the air that would otherwise be trapped and slow down the fuel delivery is exited through the opposite hole at an equal rate, allowing VERY fast fuel delivery during pit stop.
