Narrative:

Day 2 of 4, operating on reduced rest due to multiple radar APU problems and aircraft swap. Arriving aircraft on-time, preflight going normally, preboard passenger arrive including 2 jump seaters. Sitting in cockpit, one jump seater comes up and says, 'we are venting fuel all over the ramp.' I turned off all pumps and went downstairs. Fuelers had already gone. Advised ramp to call fire department. Went back upstairs, had preboards removed from aircraft. Not too many, only about 6 passenger. Dispatch advised, maintenance called and automatic-fuel shutoff valve MEL'ed 28-10. Departed 15 mins late for bwi. En route bwi #2 generator drive oil temperature gauge became erratic. Called maintenance in range and advised. Maintenance changed gauge at bwi. Did not help problem. MEL'ed 24-10. Called dispatch, amended release and departed for bdl. Arrived bdl 15 mins late. Made comment to 'a' flight attendant that it was nice not having to deal with an aircraft problem for 1 leg. Got release, noted that there was 'an' MEL item. Signed release, got a great turn, and departed 7 mins late. After departure, noticed only 1 MEL item on release 28-10. MEL 24-10 had been omitted. Called back out and off times, asked for patch to dispatch. Advised dispatch of error. Called on arrival in bwi to find out why it wasn't on release. As best we could determine, release had already been sent before MEL 24-10 was added in bwi. Shift change at dispatch and the last link was me. I failed to look at the MEL items closely enough as stated in the fom to catch the problem. No excuses, I just missed it. Only fix is extra vigilance and looking at all items on release.
