8 liters = 2.11 gallons of water. Water weighs 8.3 pounds per gallon so 8 liters would provide about 17.5 pounds of buoyancy.
The major drawback I can see with this mastfloat bag is that when you reef the main, the airbag is no longer at the top of the mast and would be less effective at preventing the boat from turtling.
