Short version; 1 liter = 0.035 314 667 cubic foot

Long version. Take Metric tank, multiple capacity (ie 12L) by pressure (ie 232 bar), to get Litres of free gas (2784 in this case). Multiple by 0.035314667 to get the US equivalent; 98 Cuft (give or take small change).

Obviously in the other direction you take the cuFt/0.035 etc then divide by rated pressure. For a standard alu 80 (runs at 3000 PSI/207 Bar);

(80/0.035314667)/207=10.9 Liter.
