How old are the fuel hoses?

Is gravity supplying fuel from the tank to the pump?

So, I turn the key and the Facet pump runs furiously, but no gas gets to the pump.  Of course it won't start.  This is the same tank I have been using since the restoration in 2000.  Pump gone bad?  This Facet pump replaced the old Facet pump several years ago.  What kind of length of service should I be getting from this pump, if that is the problem?
