I've been using tank water for everything for the last three years. I do make an effort to keep the tank and lines clean.
On passages I carry several gallon jugs of drinking water and a large number of smaller bottled water containers (350 or 500ml depending on what I can source). The intent of the jugs and bottles is as both a reserve and a "get-home" supply in the even of a fresh water leak from the tanks.
