Hans/HHornblower welcome to the list! there was one of those recreated for a programme the main contents were oil seepage that were found to have seeped to teh surface in pools and pine tar that was used to make it more sticking to whatever it touched. the fluid was contained in a pump and it was sprayed onto other ships. The following is a video clip but there was no evidence of portable hand held field use. you will see evidence in the video of ancient manuscript showing a fireship as well as below i added the same image from the manuscript for you.
