No, but I would avoid storing gray water -- use it ASAP.
Tanks which get lined with soap and fat scum are going
to start smelling.

That's very true. Well, not quite true enough. It stinks.

There may be some plants which don't like it (soap tends to
be alkali). I have used it on my lawn without any problems
in the past. I might hesitate to use it on plants grown for
eating.

I have no such qualms and I grow vegetables with no man-made fertilisers or
pesticides.

You're also right about not being legally allowed to use it when there's a
hosepipe ban. I use everything I can in such a situation (except tap water
which I rarely use neat anyway). It's up to your own conscience but I prefer
to use waste water of many kinds to grow my food than to put it in the
sewer. I don't use a hosepipe for it. And I don't water flowers or lawn
(don't have grass, the hens ate it all). If we can't eat it it can die as
far as I'm concerned.
