Oct 10, 2018 at 15:27 comment added blacksmith37 If one wants to look into the subject; Use the word "distillate" rather than the archaic "kerosene". In greatly oversimplified terms , refinery output is classified as 1- gasoline, 2-distillates, and 3 -heavy oils. ( Yes , refineries can make a thousand products from mustache wax to trombone slide oil, etc,etc,etc.)

Oct 9, 2018 at 13:52 comment added David Hammen I suspect this question is based on a misconception that refineries merely separate crude oil into the chemical components that are already present in the raw crude. Refineries do a lot more than that. They are chemical manufacturing plants for which crude oil is the raw material. See Andrew John Dodds' answer.
