Omnitek Engineering said it has received a certificate of conformity from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency applicable for diesel-to-natural gas engine conversions of the engine family for model years 1993 to 2006.
The certificate allows engine conversions to proceed in 49 States and includes the Caterpillar 3406E, C15, C15 ACERT and C16 engine models, the company informed in a statement.
Omnitek will offer 100 percent dyno- tested “drop-in” ready converted engines, configured for quick installation. An assembly line engine remanufacturing/conversion process will assure that engines are in “as new” condition with the highest quality and uniformity.
Omnitek’s diesel-to-natural gas engine conversion technology was selected under a competitive grant process by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency for a pilot project.
“As engines are converted to use 100 percent natural gas, CNG or LNG, the payback on a diesel-to-natural gas truck conversion can be as short as 16 months, including the cost for the engine, fuel storage system and installation labor,” Werner Funk, president and chief executive officer of Omnitek Engineering Corp said.
