OK Guys,
This would appear to have been moisture that was burning off as the Diesel Engine for the AC Electric Generator cam up to temperature and burned it off. I would think that if the Air Filter was Dirty then it would have Chocked off the Air causing it to run Rich, this most likely would have caused Black Smoke.
Anyway this may simply be a normal situation when starting a Diesel Engine and waiting for it to come up to Temperature. By the way if this was to continue or be persistent then it could indicate a Head Gasket Failure.
