Default Car not starting...No gas?? 90 crx si

So today I go get in my car after class and it just turns over and seems like it is getting zero gas. I checked the spark from my distributer and thats all good, but i'm not getting any humming noise from the fuel pump and I loosened one of the 2 bolts on the fuel filter and got no gas squirtage.

So is my fuel pump out or what else could it be.

Pics: idk which one is actually my fuel pump or where its at.

K. Well I talked to a guy at my local import shop and he said 9 times out of 10 its just the main relay. Soooo are there anyways to check if my main relay is bad? Also is $65 reasonable for a main relay?

yes I have spark and my plugs are good..

I think I have narrowed it down to... Main relay, fuel filter or fuel pump.
