I googled a calculation page and converted your measurement to cubic meters which is 2.099999 (so adjusted it up to 2.10 cm3) which is (according to another google calculator) 2100 litres.
If this is wrong you can blame google not me  ::) :D

No, three sevens are twenty one, so that bit is right.  ;) :D Just to check - its 3 metres by 700 what? You've written "m" which is the abbreviation for metres. Is it metres, centimetres or millimetres wide?
