AFT Announces Successful Completion of New Fuel Pump

REDFORD, MI, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
Alternative Fuel Technology, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Alternative Fuel Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AFTC), announced today
that they have designed and successfully demonstrated a revolutionary new
DME fuel feed pump that eliminates cavitation, lowers pump noise and
improves efficiency.

DME, a new ultra-clean alternative fuel for diesel engines, is a liquefied
gas like propane and must be slightly pressurized to keep it liquid. This
is accomplished by storing DME in sealed containers (propane tanks). When
fuel is pumped out of the tank it has a tendency to cavitate in the feed
pump's inlet, causing noise and a loss of efficiency. Cavitation is a
sudden formation and collapse of bubbles in liquids by means of mechanical
forces, such as those resulting from pump vanes or pistons.

In 2007, AFTC developed a very reliable and compact feed pump for DME and
has many running in engine laboratories and experimental vehicles in Asia,
Europe and the USA. These pumps, however, produce relatively high noise
levels that can be heard within the cabin of a vehicle. AFTC's new pump
eliminates this problem and takes DME fueled vehicles one step closer to
volume production.

ABOUT DME:

DME is a new alternative fuel for diesel engines that totally eliminates
toxic smoke (particulate) emissions and drastically lowers NOx emissions
without the benefit of expensive exhaust aftertreatment devices like
particulate filters and urea regenerated NOx catalysts. The estimated cost
for these devices exceeds $10,000 for medium-duty trucks.

DME can be made from abundant biomass that does not compete with the food
chain at a price that is expected to be fully competitive with petroleum
based diesel fuel. When made from biomass, DME reduces CO2 (greenhouse
gas) emissions by over 90%. President Obama has pledged that the USA will
"implement a domestic cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions 80 percent by 2050" with "all pollution credits to be auctioned,
and proceeds will go to investments in a clean energy future, habitat
protections, and rebates and other transition relief for families. DME
promises to play a major part in the reduction of greenhouse gases and
their effects on global climate change.
