A fuel pump includes a housing having a cavity. The cavity has a rear surface, and a drive gear and driven gear are disposed in the cavity and in mesh with one another for pressurizing fluid. A floating wear plate and a fixed wear plate are disposed in the cavity and are in contact with the drive gear and the driven gear. A flow orifice is formed as part of the floating wear plate, and a portion of the pressurized fluid flows through the flow orifice to an area between the rear surface of the cavity and the floating wear plate, causing the floating wear plate to apply force to the drive gear and driven gear, and causing the drive gear and driven gear to apply force to the fixed wear plate, thereby compensating for any wear of the drive gear, driven gear, and wear plates.
