(OP)
Someone told me that stainless steel storage tanks are not suitable for domestic hot water supply systems.
Is there any truth in this statement?

Why would you be willing to believe anonymous sources from the web preferentially to "someone"?
Stainless steel is used for cooking pots, tea kettles, flatware, sinks and dishwashers. It is used in breweries, distillaries, and almost all food processing.
There are a variety of domestic water heaters (mostly instantanious) made from stainless, and many marine potable water systems use stainless.
So, what do you think?

tank. The customer was told by another supplier that stainless steel tanks were not suitable for the purpose.
I agree with your responses.
I was just checking to make sure.

@marula: what was "the purpose"?
Should users determine the suitability or otherwise, on the advise of suppliers alone? In fact, is it not the previlege of the end-user to give the specs to the supplier(s)?
(I say this, while aware of the fact that many of the suppliers themselves often have highly qualified and experienced engineers, and provide valuable inputs to users.)
