Liters tagged as length not volume

Perhaps this is an issue with the Pint library, but the workflow thinks liters are a unit of length, not volume. See screenshot.
but the workflow thinks liters are a unit of length
It doesn't. It says liter [length] ** 3, which is volume ([length] ** 2 being area), because litre is defined in terms of centimetres, which is a unit of length.
Your problem is trying to convert volume to mass, which makes no sense without density.
Use fluid ounces (floz) instead.
Ah, thanks very much.
