Depends if its leaking or not. If its leaking I don't think I would drive it your exhaust pipe gets VERY hot when driving even idling and if the gas gets onto the exhaust it could ignite. If its just not sending the proper amount of fuel to the engine I probably would drive it either because no tell how long the fuel pump will maintain pressure. But the worst that will happen is it will stop running and you will have to have to towed.
If the vehicle is over fueling, it can wash away the lubricant from the bores,
and dilute the oil in the sump.
That will cause the engine to seize.
mine died because of a faulty fuel pump
One cause of your fuel data system not working is a faulty oxygen sensor. Another cause of your fuel data system not working is a defective ignition system.
# Idle speed incorrect # Fuel filter clogged and/or water and impurities in the fuel system # Faulty emissions system components # Faulty or incorrectly gapped spark plugs # Faulty spark plug wires # Vacuum leak in the fuel injection system,intake manifold or vacuum hoses # Valve clearances incorrectly set
It has a fuel system leak, can be fuel line, etc.( liquid leak) or (fuses) faulty gas cap/fuel emission system leak.
Incorrect fuel pressure or flow because of a faulty fuel pump, faulty fuel pressure regulator or a plugged fuel filter. If the check engine light is illuminated, check the code(s) first.
A faulty fuel pump could do that or a faulty timing belt (if equipped) could also do that. If it is a Ford, it could be the ignition module too.

You are losing spark or fuel. I would suspect a faulty fuel pump.
Faulty fuel pump. Faulty fuel pump relay. Faulty fuel pressure regulator. Clogged fuel filter, pickup, or line. No fuel in the fuel tank.
Could be, contaminated fuel (water),plugged up/dirty fuel filter,faulty fuel pump,faulty fuel pressure regulator.If the check engine light has illuminated, investigate the codes. The codes may give you a clue.
Faulty fuel pump.Dirty/plugged fuel filter. Blown fuse. Faulty fuel pump relay. Faulty wire harness/connections. Empty fuel tank (faulty gauge).
