Omnitek Engineering Corporation announced it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Philippine- based Alternative
Bio-Energy Technologies Company (ABET), with a goal of building a strong and mutually beneficial relationship utilizing
Omnitek’s proprietary diesel-to-natural-gas conversion technology to address growing local market demand for biogas engine solutions.
“Omnitek’s conversion technology complements ABET’s mission to create a cleaner environment in the Philippines, while promoting the
use of environmentally friendly biomethane or biogas” said Werner Funk, president and chief executive officer of
Omnitek Engineering Corporation.
He noted that ABET is a leader in the design and installation of biogas energy systems in the Philippines -- utilizing animal
waste, agricultural and food waste to create methane and biogas fuels. “This represents an inexpensive energy source for existing
diesel generators to operate when converted by utilizing Omnitek’s diesel-to-gas technology,” Funk said.
ABET works closely with AsiaBIOGAS Co. Ltd., Southeast Asia’s largest biogas systems design, engineering, construction and operating
company. Headquartered in Bangkok, AsiaBIOGAS Co. Ltd. currently operates in Thailand, The Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.
“Omnitek’s diesel engine conversion technology is being applied throughout the world with great success. Applying this technology also
in the Philippines would add a significant number of biogas-powered generators in a short timeframe at an economical cost well-below
the price of a new engine,” Funk said. Omnitek intends to provide training support to the local workforce in the Philippines engaged
in engine conversions and may also supply Omnitek Branded biogas engines to the local market.

Omnitek Sets High Altitude Record with CNG Powered Truck at 4814 Meters
Omnitek Peru made history by driving a natural gas powered heavy-duty commercial
truck to a record altitude of 4,814 meters (15,800 feet) over the Ticlio Pass high
in the Peruvian Andes, the highest poad in the world.
The truck manufactured by International Truck and Engine Company and equipped with
the 275 horsepower DT530 engine, had been converted from diesel to natural gas
using the Omnitek technology. Earlier in the month another test-drive performed with the
same natural gas converted vehicle, owned by Leche Gloria, confirmed the engines power
and ability to transport heavy loads. The test was performed driving the vehicle on a
steep road, locally known as Pasamayo, loaded to a weight of 37,000 kg (37 tons).
The high-altitude record setting drive concluded a series of tests tailored to set the
record straight on some common misconceptions about natural gas engines. The tests resulted
in sufficient data to show that diesel engines converted to
natural
gas have enough power to transport heavy loads at high
altitudes, all while having low fuel consumption and produce
much less pollution than a diesel truck. On one test-drive,
the Leche Gloria truck completed the 326 km distance from
Lima to Canete and back to Lima while loaded with milk to
37,000 kg, in a remarkably short time of 5 hrs,
consuming only 118 cubic meters of natural gas at a cost of 164 Soles ($ 55), a savings
of 60% over using diesel. The tests were co-sponsored by PGN,
a Peruvian natural gas supplier.

August 5, 2009
Omnitek Engineering Corporation today announced it has formed a joint venture with local
partners in Peru to convert diesel engines to operate on natural gas, as well as provide
services to re-power diesel trucks and buses utilizing Omnitek's natural gas engines.
Based in Lima, Peru, the joint venture will operate as Omnitek Peru S.A.C., with plans
to expand from several initial conversion centers in Lima to numerous other locations
throughout the country.
The company also said it is in negotiations with several local truck and bus dealerships
to provide diesel-to-natural gas conversion services to new vehicles prior to customer
delivery.
"Peru represents an important growth market for our company. The country's natural gas
infrastructure system is excellent, with Peruvian bank loans readily available to fleet
operators for conversions and diesel engine re-powering. In addition, support by leading
energy suppliers, such as PGN and Petro Peru, will contribute to a rapid expansion of
the natural gas market," said Werner Funk, president and chief executive officer of
Omnitek Engineering Corporation.

OMNITEK ENGINEERING CORPORATION REPORTS RECORD REVENUES FOR 2008
--Cites Strong Demand for Diesel Engine to Natural Gas Conversions --
Omnitek Engineering Corp. today reported results for its fourth quarter and year ended
December 31, 2008, with revenues increasing more than two-fold on a year-over-year basis
due to strong demand for its diesel-to-natural gas conversion systems.
For the twelve months, revenues increased sharply to $3.36 million from $1.0 million for
the same period a year earlier.
“Results for 2008 reflect continued global demand for our technology, which converts
high-polluting diesel powered engines to operate on natural gas,” said Werner Funk, president
and chief executive officer of Omnitek Engineering Corporation. He noted that fourth quarter
results were less robust than anticipated due to global economic conditions. “Despite the
impact of current economic conditions, we anticipate continued year-over-year growth in 2009,
with some potential for quarterly fluctuations as a result of the timing of customer
orders,” Funk said. He indicated that new marketing initiatives in Peru, Dubai, Turkey,
the Caribbean and Malaysia are expected to result in significant contracts in 2009.
