THE METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A JET FUEL WHICH COMPRISES CONTACTING A STRAIGHT-RUN KEROSENE WITH HYDROGEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A HYDROGENATION CATALYST FORMED FROM AT LEAST ONE MEMBER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF NICKEL, COBLAT, MOLYHBDENUM AND TUNGSTEN AND OXIDES AND SULFIDES THEREOF, ON AN INERT POROUS CARRIER, AT A TEMPERATURE OF 650 TO 750*F., AT A PRESSURE OF 500 TO 1500 P.S.I.G. WITH A LIQUID HOURLY SPACE VELOCITY OF 1.0 TO 6.0 AND A HYDROGEN CIRCULATION RATE OF 1,500 TO 10,000 STANDARD CUBIC FEET PER BARREL OF KEROSENE, CONTACTING THE RESULTANT PRODUCT WITH HYDROGEN IN THE PRESENCE OF A CATALYST WHICH COMPRISES A METAL SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF NICKEL, COBALT, TUNGSTEN, MOLYBDENUM AND THE NOBLE METALS, SAID CATALYST BEING SUPPORTED ON A POROUS REFRACTORY SUPPORT SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALUMINA AND KIESELGUHR, AT A TEMPERATURE OF 450 TO 750*F. AT A PRESSURE OF 500 TO 1500 P.S.I.G., A LIQUID HOURLY SPACE VELOCITY OF 1.0 TO 10.0 AND A HYDROGEN CIRCULATION RATE OF 2,000 TO 10,000 STANDARD CUBIC FEED PER BARREL OF SAID PRODUCT OF THE FIRST STAGE, THE COMBINATION OF CONDITIONS BEING SELECTED TO PRODUCE A SUPERIOR JET FUEL HAVING A LUMINOMETER NUMBER OF AT LEAST 75.
