How long does it take for a mechanic to change a fuel pump in a 1.9liter 93 ford escort?

I'm trying to find out

It does depend on the technician, however in general a fuel pump shouldn't take more than a few hours to do. I've never done one on a 93 escort but i can't imagine it taking more than a few hours, unless the mechanic runs into problems such as rusted bolts.

Like BR said, the gas tank is directly under the rear seat, and there's an access panel so you can change it without removing the tank. It takes about 2 minutes to get the panel off (it's just 2 screws), about 5 minutes to remove the pump, another 5 minutes to put the new one on, and 2 minutes to put the panel back on. Additionally it's just 2 clips holding the rear seat bottom cushion on, so it takes all of 30 seconds to remove it, and about 5 minutes to reinstall it. It shouldn't take more than 1/2 hour… Though the book probably says 2-3 hours.
