If they clean the interior then coating the tank is not required. You can do it if you want but coating is usually used for a "seeping" type of leak.
If the interior of the tank isn't boiled/cleaned then the rust won't be removed. Any rust will indeed find its way past the fuel filters and into the injection pump. The existing filtration system will only catch particles above a certain size. Finer particles will pass and enter the pump/lines/injectors.

I was not aware the inside of these tank were not coated. I'm not sorry that I was so ignorant but I have a bit of remorse that it was so easily revealed.
BTW, the tank is original installed in the gas body which I've installed the om617 engine/trans. Then tank sat with a small amount of gas for some years and if I'm remembering correctly, it had all dried up by the time I got a few gallons of diesel in it.
