L for liter.

Explanation:

The base unit for volume is the liter, and it is treated like any metric measurement.
1000 liters would be a kiloliter (kL)
.01 liters would be a centiliter (cL)
etc. etc,

You might use some form of #L# or some form of #m^3#.

If you use #L# (liters), it is the equivalent of using #dm^3# (decimeters cubed). If you use #mL# (milliliters), it is the equivalent of using #cm^3# (centimeters cubed). These are the more common variations.
