I did called around to a number of radiator cleaners here in this area and most of them did not want to do a "boiling out" of a gas tank. There was one chain company that would do it for about $200 and put a sealer in it also for about $350.
I did use the Bill Hirsch Cleaner and sealer and so far after 3 years or so, I find no rust in my filters on my coupe.
