Open gas cap and have someone listen close by. Than turn ignition to on position. U should hear pump start pumping for a few seconds to build up pressure prior to starting. If no sound fuse or pump could be bad. Look up fuel lines/pump on youtube to get a idea where ther located. Its kinda difficult to try to tell u without showing u if ur not familiar with cars. And if ur not familiar with cars in can be a lil dangerous...so b careful.

No sound of pump pumping and fuse ok? Than as Js says u may have burned out pump, Try again getting real close to gas tank, have some one engage ignition and listen for pump turning on just prior to cranking.
