I tried on a turtle "mon = peripheral.wrap("back")" but it gave me an error saying nil. Is it possible to get turtles to print to a monitor, as I want it to print it's fuel level, or would I have to use rednet to send the fuel level to a computer, and that computer prints it on the monitor?

I'm sure it is possible for a turtle to print on a monitor, but the I'm seeing a problem that will definitely arise:
Your turtle will be moving… so yeah rednet would be the best option
