Indirect Hot water tank sizing?

[digdug18]

I'm getting a new heater installed, oil, and am going from no hot water to an indirect tank. There are 4 people in my house. do you think a 40 gallon tnak is sufficient for an indirect hot water tank?

Andrew with 4 people go with at least a 50 gallon tank that should get you 1&1/2 - 2 showers before the water needs time to reheat.

Thanks, getting sized up and was recommended the 40 gallon sizing. But said the 60 gallon was basically the same price, $10 difference, I'll go with the 60 gallon then.
