Three Fire Service crews have been sent out to a large diesel spill in the Auckland suburb of Devonport this afternoon.

They arrived at the Naval Base around 12:30pm.

It was originally feared that up to 30,000 litres spilt from a tank on land, and one crew was left to monitor the situation.

Auckland Council inspectors have now confirmed the spill didn't make it into nearby waterways, the Fire Service says.

Less than 1500 litres from the tank actually ended up getting out on the ground.
