This was very true of my 2004 Tiburon I had. If I didn't tighten the cap enough (until I heard one or two "clicks") the Check Engine light would come on. Got lucky once and it went off after a refill but usually I had to go to the dealer to get it turned off.

I believe I even failed emissions in VA. once and it was simply because I hadn't tightened the gas cap enough. Sensitive, indeed!
