This is wacky. When running an engine at the same power setting on different fuels, cylinder pressure & temperature will also be the same.
If the cylinder pressure were higher, the engine would be developing more torque. And since cylinder pressure is a result of cylinder temperature, the same pressure is the result of the same temperature.
If the metallurgy is sufficient for gasoline or Diesel fuel, it'll be sufficient for any other fuel at the same power settings.
