Default Fuel problem

My girlfriends 91 crx stopped getting fuel to the motor so i first changed the main relay and that didnt fix the problem, then i replaced the fuel pump but i am still not getting any fuel to the fuel filter which is also new, but i took the hose that goes into the filter off and cranked the motor over, i can hear the fuel pump turn on but still no fuel comes out of the hose. Is there another filter down near the fuel tank that could be plugged or anything else that i should look at?

an idea would to disconnect the line at the pump to the fuel filter and from the fuel filter. blow some compress air in it. i would check to see if you get signal at the fuel pump first though.

If the pump is turning on and i can hear it that would me that i do have signal to the pump right? But i will also try the compressed air.

if you hear the pump whirr when you turn the key on then the pump is working. it sounds like the line is clogged? i'd try the compressed air.
