My cistern seems to be spewing a leak ?

My cistern is spewing a leak between the float in the water and the flow. I have already replace the washer of correct size twice thinking maybe the first was a dud. I also moved the float up to see if it rose higher it would cut the flow off but it continues to fizz out at the arm end of the float that attaches to the screw in for replacing the washer.

You should move the float LOWER to shut the valve sooner.

There is also - usually - an adjusting screw - nylon with a locking nut. Turn it inwards towards the inlet valve and do up the locking nut.
