Diesel engine for a 1972 Super Beetle?

Hi Everybody

Im new here, and a new VW Beetle Owner! I just got my first Beetle and already want to make changes...

When looking for a vehic I originally wanted a 1998 or so Golf with a TDI in it. But they are impossible to find and when you do they want way too much for them. I NEED GAS MILEAGE!!!

So my vw has a 1600cc petrol engine, and I have heard anywhere from 28 - 35 MPG on them. Not bad but I would like to get 40 out of it if possible.

So my question is are there any Diesel engines for this car? It would have to be air cooled and fit without any major reconstruction involved.

Thanks,

Jeremy
