I'm posting this for a friend that has a 89 mustang LX 5.0. His car has been sitting for about 5 months and now it won't start. The engine turns over fine but if will not start, doesn't even try. I pulled the gas cap off and had him turn the key on and I do not hear the fuel pump running at all. Could it be the fuel pump or the relay under the seat? Is there any way to test either one of these without pulling the fuel tank out? Thanks and any help would be great. He also said that he put some kind of fuel stuff in it before he stored it, to keep the gas from going bad. Any tips on getting this thing running again would be great.

Thanks
