The Fuzhou Hailin Power HL178FA is a machine built by Fuzhou Hailin Power. Production: 2011-2012. The fuel is 300-500 ppm Low Sulfur Diesel. The rated output is 4 kW. The engine is naturally aspirated. The engine meets emissions stage Interim Tier 4. Fuel reaches the combustion chamber through direct injection. It is a four-stroke diesel engine. The cylinders are arranged in line. Rated output within this group ranges from 2 to 4,850 kW; the HL178FA sits at the bottom of that range with 4 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the B20-3600 below it with 3 kW and the 15LD350/GE above it with 5 kW.

This page gathers the Fuzhou Hailin Power nonroad diesel engines the register could not assign to a named range from the US EPA certification data. Fuzhou Hailin Power is a Chinese maker of small diesel engines based in Fuzhou, Fujian province; the type designations HL178FA and HL186FV follow the 178F/186F frame-size naming common in this market segment for air-cooled single-cylinder small diesels, and the EPA engine-family code shows a displacement of 0.435 litres for both versions.

The register lists here 2 versions with 4 to 6 kW rated output at 3,600 rpm, from a single cylinder with a 78 to 86 mm bore and 64 to 75 mm stroke – with a stroke-to-bore ratio under 1, a short-stroke design. The engines carry direct injection, run on low-sulphur diesel (300 to 500 ppm) and reach maximum torques of 10.6 to 16.7 Nm at 3,600 rpm. They were certified to the Interim Tier 4 stage, for use outside California only.

Small, high-speed single-cylinder diesel engines of this power class under 8 kW classically drive portable generator sets, water pumps and simple construction equipment; the Interim Tier 4 emission stage marks a transitional step in US nonroad engine emission regulation before the final Tier 4 Final stage.

When buying used, on these single-cylinder engines the condition of the cooling fins and fan wheel, compression, and the condition of the injection pump and nozzle matter; uneven running often points to wear in the injection system. Spares run through Hailin's Chinese distribution.
