The coil in your oil-fired hot water boiler has a better "recovery" rate than any seperate hot water heater and any other type of fuel. And, the more water you have to "keep" hot, the more fuel you consume on "stand-by". All this would do is provide additional back-up reserve that you'll probably never need. If you don't have a current problem with hot water supply running short, don't mess with it. To me, people who put out these kinds of ideas are just out to sell another gimmick.
