Where to have fuel tank boiled out?

Does anyone here know where I can have a gas tank hot tanked? Every radiator shop I call doesn't do this anymore. Pulled the tank on my '86 and it has plenty of buildup inside it due to the car sitting for years

If you don't go the route of buying a different tank, maybe a engine rebuild shop could do it? They hot tank blocks all day so I would imagine they could do a fuel tank.

Good luck finding an engine rebuild shop that still has a hot tank. Thanks to CA regulations most or all hot tanks have been replaced with wash cabinets.

Bobs Radiators in San Bernardino cleaned out my tank and did some repair work on the filler neck for me a couple years back.
