SAN MARCOS, Calif., March 25, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Omnitek Engineering Corporation (Other OTC:OMTK.PK - News) today announced the appointment of Metan Market, Ltd. as the company's exclusive agent in Bulgaria and an initial order valued at approximately $600,000 for its diesel-to-natural gas conversion systems. The company also said it has signed a similar exclusive agent agreement with Ruston Endustrieyel, based in Ankara, Turkey.

The conversion order in Bulgaria is for public buses operated by Sofia Public Transport Company. The conversion project, which recently commenced, is expected to be completed over a two-year period.

``Bulgaria and Turkey represent regions with tremendous growth potential, supported by an expanding infrastructure of compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling stations, and a corresponding government and private-sector commitment to utilizing gaseous fuels. There are approximately 25,000 CNG vehicles operating in Bulgaria today, a figure that has doubled since 2006, and approximately 74 CNG refueling stations in operation to support the growing demand,'' said Werner Funk, president and chief executive officer of Omnitek Engineering Corporation.

He noted Metan Market, Ltd. is aggressively engaged in multiple sectors of the CNG supply chain, including compression of natural gas; delivery of CNG for mobile compressor stations, serving private and commercial customers; production of trailers for the transportation of CNG; CNG bus and truck sales, in addition to managing the conversion of diesel buses and trucks to operate on CNG. Funk also noted that Ruston Endustrieyel has been a pioneer in the conversion of vehicles to operate on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and CNG since 1964. ``Our partnership with Ruston Endustrieyel will enable this highly respected organization to offer diesel-to-natural gas conversions, which is more cost-effective than replacing high-polluting diesel powered engines with new natural gas vehicles,'' Funk said. ``Still in its infant stage, there are currently approximately 500 CNG buses and more than 1.2 million LPG vehicles in operation in Turkey,'' he said.
