A fluid delivery device has a primary pump and a main pump fluidically connected to the primary pump. The primary pump can be driven by a primary pump input shaft, the main pump can be driven by a main pump input shaft, and the primary pump input shaft and the main pump input shaft are mechanically coupled to a common drive shaft of the fluid delivery device. The primary pump is in the form of a non-compensated gear pump or a centrifugal pump and the main pump is in the form of a compensated internal gear pump.
