Running fuel to engine

The end of the hard fuel line is pretty close to the exhaust manifold. When I picked up the car there was no fuel line connected so currently I have a line with a filter going to a gas tank. If I connect the fuel line to the hard line without a filter it'll be nice and neat out of the way but I'd like to keep the filter. Where do I run this line safely?
