A part with no name

I've been slowly redoing my 70 bug repainting it and replacing so old rubber parts as I go. One part I know fell off some years ago but I don't know what to call it or even what it did really. I guess it's an overflow tube but there is a metal tube that comes off the oil filler doodad. One tube connects to a flexible hose that goes to the air filter, the other tube goes down through the sheet metal. At the end of it was some kind of rubber valve or nipple. I guess it is there to prevent dirt from climbing up the tube. What is that rubber thing called? :)

It's a rubber "valve" that's normally closed but allows condensate to drip out.

311 115 541 should get you one...

A rubber grommet with a slit in the bottom acts somewhat like a one-way valve to discharge moisture and assorted undesirables. We now call them "evacuators" but it's unlikely the Germans called them that.
