Fuel as a weapon question

It has always intrigued me about whether a fast jet dumping fuel over a ground attack formation, followed by a second fast jet 15-30 seconds later hitting burners at last minute would ignite and provide an effective weapon.

Has it been tried or is it worthless given possible loss of 2 fast movers unless as a last ditch manouvre ?
