The amount of fuel required to start the car is tiny, even if the fuel pump was on it's way out it should still start the car.

Crank the car for a few seconds and then pull the plugs, if they're dry then the pump is not working at all, if they're wet then there is enough fuel to start the car and the problem lies else where.
