This question cannot be answered sensibly. A litre is a measure of volume, with dimensions [L3]. A kilogram is a measure of mass, with dimensions [M]. Basic dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information.

It takes only a little mental effort to compare a kg of air and a kg of lead to see that the two will have very different volumes.

A kilogram is a measure of mass. A litre is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.

If you are not convinced, consider a litre of air. How many kilograms? Next consider a litre of lead. How many kilograms?

The volume occupied by a kilogram of different substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

Some people still believe that there is a conversion in relation to pure water but that is only approximately true. Until 1964 (nearly 50 year ago!) a litre was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water at 4 degrees Celsius and at a pressure of 760 millilitres of Mercury. With that definition a conversion would have been valid - but only for pure water and only under those conditions. In any case that definition of a litre was abandoned in favour of 1 litre =1000 cubic centimetres. In fact the density of pure water, at 4 deg C and 760 ml of mercury is 999.9720 kg/metre3

it is possible. if we know the density of fluid,we can do Kg to litre conversion.

density=w/v(kg/m^3)

You need to know the density of the liquid for this. For water it is 1 gram per cubic centilitre, so 1 litre of water is 1 kg. Other liquids will vary though.
