"Petrol" is what the British (and Australians, Irish and New Zealanders) call gasoline. Petrol is actually a contraction of the word petroleum which is the feedstock. So there's no difference between petrol and gasoline.
Gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel are different "fractions" of petroleum distillate. Gasoline is the lowest-boiling/most volatile of the three, kerosene is intermediate, and diesel is the highest-boiling/least volatile. Jet fuel is actually Jet Kerosene.
The Britsih usually call kerosene "paraffin". In the US, paraffin is an even higher fraction of petroleum distillate that is solid at room temperature and is generally referred to as "wax".
