If the car has been sitting a long time the fuel pump(s) might be stuck or the connections to them are corroded. Tapping them with a mallet (gently!) might help.

But the fact that you hear nothing makes it hard to believe that both died at once, so it could well be the fuel pump relay. Because the car has been sitting I'd remove and reseat it in the socket before buying a new one.
