Well, jet fuel isn't as combustable as petrol for example.  IIRC some rockets have used Kerosine and even Aluminium powder...  Not sure if they've successfully used diesel though.
AFAIK, there were plans to build a rocket powered by Aluminium powder, but since solid fuel is hardly managable in a rocket (you know, bits stucking in pumps and nozzles and so) they changed to kerosine/hydrogen
