Hmm, so are we saying that we have a stream of the incendiary liquid
120m long or a means of delivering an incendiary ordnance to a point
120m away? 

If teh former, I would imagine it is a real waste of propellant/fuel if
a third or more is left between the vehicle and the target. So, if we go
with the former; then we are back to an incediary warhead that we can
put out to 3000m+ let alone the 120m!
