What hose does the fuel filter go to?

I tried using the search function but for some reason it has been down for the last 3 days, probably my dialup. I know stupid question, I feel like a dumb *** asking this question. But I know there is a bigger dumb ***, the owner before me who was running the rig without one. There are three ports to connect hoses in a shape of a triangle wouldn't you know. There is a single top port and two lower ports one left one right. I already have the hoses labeled so I know where the hoses go to. I just don't know which port is filtered. Anyhow, If I took a guess I would say its the top port, but as you know its not wise to guess with our engines.

Thanks in advance.

The stock fuel filter is located at the back of the car above the diff. Replace that one or remove it before you add another filter. I was looking at aftermarket filters and then just decided to stay stock even though it is a PITA to change the stock filter. It's cheaper, and that's one less thing in the engine bay, and one less aftermarket thing to create new problems.

You serious, is it that big jumbo can with a hose hanging from the bottom? What a place to put a filter. Actually I thought it was in the engine bay bolted to the frame on the drivers side? There is actually some holes where one would be mounted.

You right max I double checked and it is directly above the differential as you mentioned. You can't really see it directly you can feel it though. And not the big can with a hose hanging from it. For some reason I thought there was a filter as mentioned above in the engine bay. Guess not. Well I guess I am the dumbie, lol. Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.
