Pump or injectors.
Not unheard of for the petrol to stop working. Has the petrol been used regularly, i.e. 10% of the time?

Easiest way to check if there is fuel is to remove the line from the entry point on the fuel rail, stick it in a bottle, and get someone to turn the car to ON, but not start. The fuel pump should spit some fuel into the bottle, before it turns off - runs for about 3 seconds. That's to prime the rail. If that doesn't happen, or very little fuel get's in the bottle, there is two or three possible causes, in no specific order:
#1 - Dead or close to it fuel pump. #2 - Seriously blocked up fuel filter. #3 - Dead fuel pump relay or wiring. Cheers ToranaGuy

Ok, so a fair bit of fuel was pumped into the bottle. That's a good start.
Have you checked the fuel regulator, is the vac line hooked up & not leaking? If it's hooked up & working as it should, then it's possible the injectors are blocked. What happened after re-attaching the fuel line, would the car start on petrol at all? Cheers ToranaGuy

Go to sprints (Bridge Rd) and get a new set of seals (O rings) for them...

No more than $2 each.
Stick them in and see what happens. Feel free to bring it over and I can test for vacuum leaks.
