@Thomas

you are missing { }, around the fuel module

should look like this

            {
                    module: "MMM-Fuel",
                    position: "top_left",
                    config: {
                        api_key: "",
                        lat: 52.518611,
                        lng: 13.408333,
                        types: ["diesel"],
                        
             },

And btw, don’t give out your API-key, remove it when you post config files

Okay, dann eben auf deutsch.
Ich habe deine config Datei komplett kopiert und bei mir eingefügt. Das funktioniert, also kopiere bitte das hier drunter komplett und ersetze deine config Datei dadurch.

var config = {
	port: 8080,
	
	language: 'de',
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: 'metric',

	modules: [
		{
			module: 'alert',
		},
		{
			module: 'clock',
			position: 'top_left'
		},
		{
			module: 'compliments',
			position: 'lower_third'
		},
		{
			module: 'currentweather',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				location: 'New York',
				locationID: '',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
				appid: 'YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY'
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'weatherforecast',
			position: 'top_right',
			header: 'Weather Forecast',
			config: {
				location: 'New York',
				locationID: '5128581',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
				appid: 'YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY'
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'newsfeed',
			position: 'bottom_bar',
			config: {
				feeds: [
					{
						title: "New York Times",
						url: "http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml"
					}
				],
				showSourceTitle: true,
				showPublishDate: true
			}
		},
		{
			module: "MMM-Fuel",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				api_key: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
				lat: 52.518611,
				lng: 13.408333,
				types: ["diesel"],
			}                
		 },

]

};

/*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
if (typeof module !== 'undefined') {module.exports = config;}

Hier fehlen natürlich die Keys für Currentweather/Forecast und MMM-Fuel, aber ich sehe Ausgaben auf dem Bildschirm.
Hast du MMM-Fuel auch als Modul bei dir installiert? Oder hast du nur die Einträge in der config Datei gesetzt? Wenn ich nur die Einträge setze, sehe ich einen schwarzen Bildschirm. Wenn ich aber das Modul installiere, dann funktioniert es. Öffne eine Konsole auf dem Raspberry oder nutze eine SSH shell, um auf dem Raspberry zu arbeiten:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-Fuel.git
cd MMM-Fuel
npm install

Danach den MagicMirror neu starten und testen.

@yawns
Hallo Stefan,
vielen vielen Dank für deine Hilfe.
Ich habe alles so gamacht wie Du beschrieben hast und siehe da es lief.
Super !
Es ist als absoluter Änfänger machmal gar nicht so leicht.
Eine Frag zu Abschluss. Kann man die Schriftfarbe der einzelnen Module auch ändern ?
Vielleicht hast Du ja da auch eine Lösung parat. :-)
Dir und deiner Familie einen guten Rutsch in´s neue Jahr und die besten Wünsche für 2017 !
Grüße aus Steinheim /Westf

@Thomas you can define your own styling in ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css, for the most modules this should work

.MODULENAME {
  color: blue;
}
