Crude oil is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. It can be separated into useful fractions by fractional distillation. Figure 1 shows a fractional distillation column and the fractions produced when crude oil is separated. Figure 1: Diagram of a fractional distillation column showing fractions from top to bottom: Refinery gases, Petrol, Kerosene, Diesel oil, Fuel oil, and Bitumen. The temperature decreases from the bottom of the column to the top. Only the named fractions are shown.

Name the fraction from Figure 1 that is used as fuel for jet aircraft.
