1995 Ford F150 fuel i think

i have a problem getting the truck to start. it has been 2 years since it has run. the fuel pumps (niether one primes when you turn the key to the on position. i've reset the switch on the right kick panel and still niether one of the pumps turn on and prime the system. was wondering if there may be something i'm overlooking before i take out a tank. maybe some way to test the pumps ? or any other tricks you may know to help me.

thank you very much for this forum
