Fuel hose only rated to 80 celsuis

I'm about to run plastic fuel hose, it's DIN 73378 certified for automotive fuel use. It's pressure rated to 100bar so assume that's enough for a multipoint EFI system. But the working temperature rating is only 80 Celsius.

Can I run this all the way to my engine or will it be over 80 C in the engine bay, on the opposite side away from the exhaust.

A hot engine will exceed 105 degree's, I would terminate on your bulkhead and extend out with flexible fuel hose.
