    While I've never cracked open the valve on an LP tank with no hose
    and torch attached, I believe the LP stands for Liquid Propane, and
    that was what spurted out when you opened it. You could verify that
    easily by trying it again, but that would be a waste. It could be
    anything between the bottle and your tip, though. If you're certain
    the valve seal on the torch is okay, the problem may be in the hose
    or regulator. You don't mention which torch you have, so it's hard
    to troubleshoot. You should consider bringing the entire setup to a
    local welding supply to be checked out.
