What would cause fuel to spit out of coils 2004 VW beetle? Engine won't start.

What is your question?

04Beetle. been sitting up 1+yr. New battery. Spits gas from coils and ow it won't start. It was cranked for the first time a month ago. Just tried to crank it again yesterday and the battery was dead and still wouldn't crank along with strong gas smell.. no clicking noise, but car barely turned over and never came close to starting.

What makes this problem better or worse?

The fuel odor gets worse when you try to crank it.

How long has your 2004 Volkswagen Beetle had this problem?

N/A I'm buying the car
