I don't know off the top of my head, but sulfur is somewhat soluble in non polar solvents like toluene and carbon tetrachloride, so I suspect it would have some solubility in biodiesel. Probably all you would need to do is get some elemental sulfur , a yellow powder , add to the biodiesel and heat it up to see if it dissolves. This is assuming that when someone says sulfur, they mean elemental sulfur rather than sulfur present in another form. If I get time this afternoon I'll give it a try. stay tuned.
Another point, if "sulfurated" biodiesel works, wouldn't "sulfurated" vegetable oil work just as well? > I would but I don't do enough to matter.
