The H Power HP178F is a machine built by H Power. Production: 2011. 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 Tier 4 (Final or Phase In). Fuel reaches the combustion chamber through direct injection. It is a four-stroke diesel engine. The cylinders are arranged in line. Rated output across the H Power range ranges from 4 to 12 kW; the HP178F sits at the bottom of that range with 4 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the HP186FA above it with 6 kW. 3 H Power models are on record.

H-Power builds small air- and water-cooled diesel engines for construction and agricultural machinery as well as generator sets. The versions listed here, HP178F, HP186FA and HP2V86F, use the digit sequence to reference cylinder bore and build size, as is customary across China's small-engine industry; the 2V suffix on the HP2V86F denotes the twin-cylinder version. This page gathers the models outside the named ranges.

The register lists here 3 versions with 4 to 12 kW rated output, all at 3,600 rpm, single- to twin-cylinder with 78 to 86 mm bore and 62 to 72 mm stroke. Maximum torque ranges from 11.9 to 31.8 Nm, model years from 2011 to 2013; all three versions run direct injection at the Tier 4 (Final or Phase-in) emission stage, split across the under 8 kW and 8 to under 19 kW power categories.

Such small diesel engines drive portable generator sets, irrigation pumps and light construction machinery; the twin-cylinder HP2V86F covers the upper power step of the range, while the single-cylinder versions are designed for the lighter applications.

On a used purchase, the oil level and cooling fins on the air-cooled versions count, along with the condition of the injectors and the tightness of the cylinder head gasket; on the older model years, it is also worth checking the fuel lines and the condition of the starter motor.
