Please don't take any risk. Get the tank emptied, cleaned and disinfected.

No need to worry. You can water for bathing, not to drinking one. You can boil and take it. No need vaccine. Still you feel, clean it.

It is unlikely to cause rabies--the virus multiplies in human body through blood--that is dog bite or animal bite---then only it causes rabies. Even if the virus enters our digestive system through water/food it will be destroyed.
