I just did this last weekend for the first time ever. I think 3 hours
is a bit generous but more or less accurate. I found it impossible to
connect the plastic crossover barbs until the tank was almost entirely
in place. I had to cut the back of my fat hand reaching through the
gap between the rail and seat pan to reach the fiTings.

I have an aftermarket tank FWIW.

Cheers,
