Minor correction. jet aircraft do NOT use diesel fuel. They don't even
use gasoline or avgas. What do they use? Humble old kerosene.
Admittedly, it's power kerosene but it's still kerosene.

For all intents and purposes: kerosene = No. 1 Diesel = Jet Fuel

There are minor differences, as an example:

My grandfather used to use No. 1 Diesel in kerosene lamps and kerosene
heaters for barns and smudge pots to keep plants in the fields from
freezing ... in the home he only used kerosene, said it was because it
was "deodorized No. 1 Diesel."

Now-a-days? Who knows ...
