I have a 33g long and I want to fill it with aquasoil. I was wondering how much I should buy.
There are bags in 9 and 3 liter

We can do the math to calculate how much that you need.
There are 61 cubic inches in 1 liter. Your 33 long has a 48" x 13" footprint.
1" of substrate depth is 48" x 13" x 1" = 624 cubic inches, 624 cubic inches ÷ 61 cubic inches per liter = 10.2 liters, purchase (1 x 9L bag + 1 x 3L bag)
2" of substrate depth = 10.2 liters per inch of substrate depth x 2" of substrate = 20.4 liters, purchase (2 x 9L bags + 1 x 3L bag)
3" of substrate depth = 10.2 liters per inch of substrate depth x 3" of substrate = 30.6 liters, purchase (3 x 9L bags + 1 x 3L bag)
4" of substrate depth = 10.2 liters per inch of substrate depth x 4" of substrate = 40.8 liters, purchase (4 x 9L bags + 2 x 3L bags)
5" of substrate depth = 10.2 liters per inch of substrate depth x 5" of substrate = 51.0 liters, purchase (5 x 9L bags + 2 x 3L bags)
These calculations will get you in the ballpark. This is how I found out how much Amazonia that I needed for my 40 breeder. You can decide what substrate depth that you want to have. Then you have to decide if you want some Amazonia Powder or Amazonia Multi-Type to go with your regular Amazonia. Or, if you want all Amazonia Multi-Type. Some people have 1" to 2" in front and 3" to 5" in the back.
Does this help you?

Don't wait too long or it will be sold out again. ADG has no inventory and AFA's inventory is dwindling. They are out of the multi-type which is what I was going to suggest that you try.
