Move Intended to Support Pent-Up Demand for Diesel-to-Natural Gas SAN MARCOS, CA —January 24, 2013 — Omnitek Engineering Corporation (OTCBB: OMTK) today announced the signing of a new lease for a facility near its current location that more than doubles its size to approximately 25,000 square feet -- an initiative intended to support the anticipated strong domestic demand for diesel-to-natural gas engine conversions, as well as continued international market growth.

Industry sources estimate the total number of heavy-duty diesel trucks in the USA exceeds eight million and the large majority of these trucks could benefit from Omnitek’s patented technology, which has been utilized outside the United States since 2001. The company’s new headquarters will be located at 1333 Keystone Way, Vista, California, effective March 1, 2013. the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved the company’s submission for its diesel-to-natural gas convers
