A fuel pump in which a terminal plate can be liquid-tightly mounted to a body upper and prevented from being dislodged from the body upper without the need of other component parts is provided. The terminal plate is formed with a cut and raised portion for preventing dislodging. When the terminal plate is inserted into a terminal plate through-hole having a step portion, a projection and a press-fit portion, the cut and raised portion is closed by being pressed with the projection and allowed to reach the step portion without contacting the press-fit portion. Then, the cut and raised portion returns to its natural configuration. Thus, the terminal plate is prevented from being dislodged to fall into the fuel pump. Because the press-fit portion is not damaged when the terminal plate is inserted, the terminal plate can be placed in liquid-tight contact with the body upper block.
