It's important to free your mind of the idea that the litre is for liquids.
It isn't. It's just a measure of volume, period.
1000 mL = 1 L
1000 L = 1 cubic metre.
SIMPLE!
I don't criticise anyone, or think any the less of them, for falling into
this trap but it's important to recognise the mental break that has to
occur.
Reflect: pints are for liquids, cubic in, cubic ft are for volume ...

I've seen car adversizements stating that a car had a
100 L trunk. That seems wierd to me. But I'd rather
hear that a bucket contains 6 L of water and not .06
cubic meters of water.
