What makes an edelbrock air cleaner any more likely to catch on fire than any other air cleaner?

You talking about the triangle foam air cleaners? I've heard about them catching on fire, mostly because it is oiled foam, and it soaks up the gas fumes, and it sits so close to the air horn. Thus making one small, firey backfire even worse than normal.

Oh, those... Since he didn't specify I assumed he was referring to the oval and round elite and signature series chrome air cleaners with the regular paper elements.
