If the air cleaner has an aspirator that attaches to the exhaust system,you can get hot exhaust fumes flowing from the muffler to the air cleaner. The is usually caused by a defective venturi in the exhaust system(usually built into the muffler) or somthing is causing an exhaust restriction downstream from the venturi. (rain cap or bent exhaust pipe,or somthing stuffed down into the exhaust pipe.) nothing will plug a paper filter faster than diesel exhaust,and if enough of it is backfeeding into the air cleaner it certainly could melt/burn the filter element.
