White smoke from the aircraft’s APU during startup can be due to unburnt fuel vapor. When the engine is shut down, fuel left in the manifolds can coke up in the burners. When you try to start again, the fuel spray might miss the ignitor leading to the emission of white smoke. https://youtu.be/Aaejx0VRoY0?si=tyH46BShu8ypderg

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1866072619285373102

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
