What is an external passageway that connects an engine's fuel system to a cylinder head port?

The fuel rail.
Engines with Port Fuel Injection have fuel lines that run from the pump (in the tank) to the engine. Once the fuel lines get to the engine, they connect to the fuel rail, which is pressure regulated to ensure that each fuel injector gets the correct amount of fuel. The injectors are apart of the fuel rail, and spray fuel into the intake air stream of each cylinder.

Comparison between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder. like 99.9% of engines today An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating prosses is done in an boiler out side the engine.
Why steam engines considered to be external combustion engines?
because energy sourse(pressurised steam) is created externally (in boiler) prior to delivery to piston cylinder
What is external combution engine?
External Combustion engine is an engine in which combustion of fuel takes place outside the cylinder. e.g.Coal fired steam engines in trains
Difference between internal combustion engines and steam engines?
Internal combustion engine is where the fuel is ignited in the cylinder to make the piston move, petrol or diesel. A steam engine has an external pressure vessel to supply the steam to the cylinder to push the piston. the is no combustion in the engine as such.
Does a 2000 Saturn 1.9 liter have a timing belt or chain?
The 4 cylinder Saturn engines used an "Oil bath" timing chain. The V6 Saturn engines used an "external" timing belt.
Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is burned in the cylinder or vessel. Eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder, like 99.9% of engines today.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burned. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. Eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains. An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating process is done in an boiler out side the engine.
How are internal and external combustion different?
In terms of engines, an external combustion engine such as a steam engine burns fuel outside of the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston. An internal combustion engine such as a petrol or diesel engine burns the fuel inside the pressure cylinder used to drive the piston.
Why do cars use internal combustion engines rather than external combustion engines?
The term "Internal combustion" means the burning, or combustion of the fuel/air is detonated in an enclosed cylinder under compression, driving piston down. If the combustion was external, there would simply be an explosion in the air that produces no power.
Are Gasoline engines and diesel engines external or internal combustion engines?
They are both internal combustion engines
How is car engine classified?
A car engine can be classified based on the number of cylinders it has. It could be a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder, 10 cylinder, or 12 cylinder (the last two engines are mainly used in exotic cars). There are also rotary engines, electric engines, natural gas engines and hybrid (electric/gas) engines. Each of these has subcategories as in the most common piston engines listed above.
Are both Gasoline and diesel engines classified as external combustion engines?
No, they are both internal combustion engines.
Does external combustion engines use turbines?
No,they use engines to produce mechanical energy.
