A gas vent would be above the level of a liquid; it would allow gas to escape as the liquid rises or air to be drawn in as the liquid lowers in attempt to equalize gas and atmospheric pressure. A vent located below the liquid line would allow the liquid to escape as the liquid level in the enclosed area rises.
