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.

This is just inaccurate, I want to set the record straight for future readers of this thread. If you use the POR 15 kit and follow the instructions you will most likely have a completely clean tank interior free of rust. The coating prevents future rust. I have done several tanks this way. It is a pain in a** though.
The key to a successful POR 15 tank treatment are some hot sunny summer days to dry out the tank after each treatment step. You cannot get the treatment to work on cool days or when it is wet.
