What is the formula to convert 1 liter to cubic meters?

Divide the liter value by 1,000: 1 L ÷ 1,000 = 0.001 m³. It is a shift of the decimal point rather than a measurement — since 1964 the liter is defined as exactly one cubic decimeter, and a cubic meter holds 1,000 of them.

Is a cubic meter the same as a kiloliter?

Yes: 1 m³ = 1,000 L = 1 kl, so the same volume, 1 L, is 0.001 m³ and 0.001 kl at once. A cubic meter is the volume of a cube one meter on each side, and it is the unit tanks, cisterns and pools are normally specified in.
