Sounds like a bad fuel pressure regulator. That may be, but my experience with fuel pressure regulator failure was major overloading with fuel. This regulator is vacuum operated and when the diaphagm fails it won't open and allow excess fuel to return to the tank. Rather, I would presume it to be the fuel filter needing replacement.
Maybe try taking care of and maintaining your vehicle, it might last forever.It depents,how you,star running your Explorer and how you stop it.
have vehicle scanned to determine the problem

The fuel pump pressure may vary by vehicle. However, on average the fuel pump pressure with the engine running should be between 4-6 psig.
When vehicle is running: Water pump is circulating coolant and cooling system pressure is building
The oil pressure gauge will fluctuate on a Chevy Tahoe when the vehicle is idling and when the vehicle is driven at highway speed. Idle is usually 30 psi oil pressure or slightly more. At highway speed, the oil pressure should be between 60 psi and 80 psi.
On my 1995 Ford Explorer : The fuel tank is underneath the vehicle , on the drivers side , and is mounted lengthwise on the vehicle
If you mean the entire vehicle then no it will not
s-10 fuel pressure releifOn later models, loosen gas cap. s-10 fuel pressure releifOn later models, loosen gas cap. If the vehicle is fuel injected you can pull the fuel pump fuse or relay while the vehicle is running. It will run until the pressure has dropped.
It means your vehicle is running lean you will need to replace the intake manifold gasket, as it is plastic and the seal wears out.
If it's just plain water leaving a little puddle under your vehicle it would be condensation from your air conditioning if it has been running.
The Explorer could have a stuck open thermostat. The thermostat needs to close until the engine gets up to operating temperature to make the system heat properly.
