In the context of the gas systems for Project Apollo, that question is
silly.

So is your non-issue about the litre and the kilogramme. Neither is defined
in terms of the other, therefore there is no 'relationship'.

Litre eh?! Must be a localized (Australian?) spelling of the SI unit which
is spelled "cubic metre".
http://www1.bipm.org/en/si/derived_units/2-2-1.html

ou en française: mètre cube

Note the e accent grave in mètre, It seems like it's not just we
Americans who have localized (localised?) spellings.

Do you really use kilogramme in Australia? According to the English
pages of the BIPM (French) website,
http://www1.bipm.org/en/si/base_units/
the English spellings of the SI Base units are, metre, kilogram,
second, ampere, kelvin, mole and candela, whereas the French spellings
a mètre, kilogramme, seconde, ampère, kelvin, mole and candela.

Il semble comme si le système international d'unités permet des
épellations localisées!
