If you've had it apart and still ask THAT question, then it's likely that you could have overlooked something else too !! :roll:

That outlet at the bottom has TWO inlets. It connects to an open tube that rises ABOVE the normal level of gas in the bowl. If the level gets above normal, the the excess gas spills into the tube and runs out. The OTHER inlet to the drain is slightly off to the side, drains from the bottom but is only open when the drain screw is loose.

This should be clear when you look at the inside of the bowl.

You didn't mention it so I will ask again: Is that drain screw closed ??
Please check that before you take it all apart again.
